PAYING YOUR TAX LIABILITY

What you need to do if your business activity statement has been reviewed and you receive an amended assessment with outstanding amounts to pay.

PAY THE TAX

PAYMENT ARRANGEMENT

If you are unable to pay the amount in full you may be eligible to make an arrangement to pay by installments. If the ATO agrees to a payment arrangement with, you will need to meet your future tax obligations on time as well as paying your installments on time. If you do not meet future installments on time your arrangement will default.

DISPUTING THE ATO DECISION

If you seek a review of your decision, we may defer any debt recovery action from the ATO, if you:

50:50 ARRANGEMENT

The general interest charge (GIC) accrues on any tax amount ultimately found to be payable; however, you can reduce the impact of this by entering into a 50:50 arrangement. Under

50:50 arrangement:

* You pay 50% of the tax in dispute

* ASPIRE NOW will defer debt recovery action by the ATO on the balance until 14 days after the review decision is made

* The ATO will allow a 50% remission of GIC accrued on the unpaid disputed tax if your dispute is partly or wholly unsuccessful. ASPIRE NOW has a high rate or success in achieving greater than 90% of GIC an penalties being taken off.
