ATO refocus on debt collection

ATO refocus on debt collection

The ATO has not pursued many business tax debts during the pandemic and allowed tax refunds to flow through even if the business had a tax debt.

That position has now changed and the ATO has resumed debt collection and offsetting tax debts against refunds.

If you have a tax debt that has been on-hold, expect the ATO to offset any refunds against this debt, and take steps to actively pursue the payment of the debt.  Small business account for around two thirds of the total debt owed to the ATO.

If you have a tax debt, it is important that you engage with the ATO to work out how this debt will be paid.

Please contact our office on: (03) 8393 1000 if you have any queries.
