Does a cheque from ATO with endorsement of payee on it need to be banked by that person or can someone else do it for them?

A cheque issued by the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) typically needs to be deposited by the payee, as it is endorsed with their signature. However, in some cases, the payee can authorize someone else to bank the cheque on their behalf by providing a signed authorization along with the cheque. It's advisable to check with the bank for their specific policies regarding third-party cheque deposits.
