Former Financial Planning Association (FPA) chair, Julie Berry, has been appointed to the Tax Practitioners Board, Assistant Treasurer, Kelly O'Dwyer announced.

Berry will begin her role in January 2016, and will remain in the role for an 18-month period.

The FPA welcomed the appointment, with FPA chief executive, Mark Rantall, saying it had long pushed for the need to have tax (financial) adviser representation on the TPB.

"Julie's appointment will ensure that there is now a voice for financial planners, who make up the second largest group of registered individuals on the TPB," he said.

The TPB regulates the provision of tax agent services across Australia, and administers the registration of tax (financial) advisers, and the registration of tax agents.

It also imposes sanctions on those who breach the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 Code of Professional Conduct.
