FAQs

Individuals

This is a two part answer depending on scenarios. The first part stays the same for all clients irrelevant to their position. After your tax return is lodged the ATO will provide you with a Notice of Assessment (NOA) just as they would if you were receiving a refund but the difference is you will receive payment details on the bottom, detailing how you can pay your tax liability. If you can’t pay your tax liability in one instalment you may be able to arrange a payment arrangement altering the payment due date or to pay in instalments until the debt is cleared.

The second part is dependant on the individual scenario and the reason why they obtained the debt. The ATO may impose a mandatory PAYG instalment (Pay As You Go) which is tax in advance calculated by the ATO depending on the tax liability from the year before. Certain types of one off events like Capital Gains events may not warrant a PAYG instalment although the ATO may still apply it. You may be able to vary or change your instalment, please contact us to discuss these options.

 

Businesses

Firstly, obtain professional advice as soon as possible. A professional will be able to run through all of your options and discuss your personal situation in detail. In many circumstances we will be able to liase with the ATO on your behalf to obtain extensions and/or alternative solutions to your situation.
