3. Tax Debt
Are you suffering financial difficulties and having trouble paying your tax debts?
The good news is that there are options available for you.
Our expert tax lawyers have helped many Australians obtain tax debt relief through:
- negotiating manageable payment plans with the ATO
- obtaining release from a tax debt which have been incorrectly assessed
- obtaining release from a tax debt in circumstances where payment of the debt would result in “serious hardship”
Do I qualify for release from my tax debts?
The ATO considers a person in serious hardship to be an individual who would be left unable to provide food, accommodation, clothing, medical treatment, education and other necessities for themselves, their family, or other people for whom they would normally be responsible.
Anyone can apply for release from certain tax debts, including income tax and associated penalties and interest charges associated with an outstanding tax debt.
How do I apply for release from my tax debts?
Applying for release from your tax debts is done using the appropriate ATO Application form.
You may need to also supply supporting documentation, such as payslips, bank account and credit card statements, plus other evidence to assess whether you are suffering financial hardship.
The ATO takes into account your household income and expenditure, assets and liabilities, and other factors that may affect your situation.
What if my application for release is not successful?
If your application for release from your tax debts is not successful, there are still options available for you to successfully obtain release from your tax debts.
Our expert tax lawyers have assisted many Australians with:
- preparing objections against an ATO decision to deny release from a tax debt; and
- appealing an ATO decision to the Small Taxation Claims Tribunal (no application fee) who determine whether relief should be granted, regardless of the amount involved.
