ATO 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.

Creditor Action

Creditors can only take action against directors for their own debts whereas a liquidator can on behalf of all creditors.

Holding Company

A holding company can also be liable for the debts of a subsidiary if it allows the subsidiary to trade while insolvent.

OPTIONS FOR DEALING WITH ATO DEBT

We use the tools of insolvency to turn your business around.

Here are some common types of actions you can take:

> Business Restructure: Restructuring involves making significant changes to the organisation and operation of your business. Under the Corporations Act 2001, a company can restructure its debts by proposing and agreeing on a restructuring plan with its creditors.

> Small Business Restructure: Small Business Restructuring (SBR) offers a straightforward avenue within the corporations law for companies to revamp their debt structure through the proposal and agreement of a Plan with creditors. This process empowers small businesses to restructure while retaining control under the directorship.

> Voluntary Administration: Voluntary administration (VA) is a legal financial management process initiated by the company directors in times of financial distress and an inability to meet debts. The primary objective is to offer a mechanism for the company to restructure and prevent liquidation.

> Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation: Creditors’ voluntary liquidation is an option when a business lacks a viable model. Appointing a liquidator minimises directors’ personal liability for insolvent trading and creditor-defeating dispositions. It ensures equitable treatment of creditors, alleviates stress for directors, and allows employees to claim unpaid entitlements through the Fair Entitlements Guarantee (FEG) scheme.
