BUSINESS DEBT

What is ATO Debt?

ATO debt refers to the money your business owes to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). It may arise from unpaid taxes (BAS lodged Quarterly), Pay as you go (PAYG) withholding of taxes on income payments to employees, Superannuation ( ‘super’), or other financial commitments to the ATO. If you don’t pay on time, the ATO will automatically add a general interest charge (GIC) to what you owe. Your debt will grow each day your debt remains unpaid. Interest calculates on a daily compounding basis on the amount outstanding and is added to your account periodically.

ATO ACTION

Action the ATO can take.

Here are some common types of actions the ATO can take:

> Garnishee notice: the ATO can issue a garnishee notice to recover unpaid tax debts. A garnishee notice is a legal notice that allows the ATO to recover tax debts from a third party who holds money for or owes money to the taxpayer.

> Small Business Restructure: A Director Penalty Notice (DPN) is a powerful debt recovery enforcement tool available to the ATO to compel a business’s compliance with its tax obligations.

> Bankruptcy notice: The ATO will issue a bankruptcy notice, requiring you to pay your debt or make a payment plan within 21 days. If you’re unable to do this, the ATO may file a creditor’s petition to make you bankrupt.

> Creditor’s petition: A creditor’s petition is essentially an application to the Federal Court or Federal Magistrates Court for a sequestration order to declare you bankrupt.

>Statutory demand: The ATO can issue a statutory demand for payment to a company that has not paid its debts. This requires the company to pay the entire debt or enter into a payment plan with us within 21 days.

>Wind-up action: When a court orders a company to wind up, an appointed official liquidator sells the company’s assets and distributes the resulting funds to the company’s creditors.
