It’s possible to strike an agreement with the Australian Tax Office to pay off your tax debts over a set time. The instalments can be affordable and offer you peace of mind.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
These are some of the most common questions we receive about business liquidations. If you have more questions, please contact us, and we will gladly help you.
What Sort of Terms Are in an ATO Payment Plan?
The terms differ from one case to the next. However, the Australian Taxation Office will consider your:
- History of tax payments
- What tax is involved
- How much you owe
A long history of trading without unpaid tax debts will reflect favourably on your case and may result in better terms. However, getting a payment plan is a very positive step to take and will ensure you can repay your debt.
How Long Does an ATO Plan Last For?
Usually less than two years (24 months). This does depend on the ATO and how it views your case, meaning the length of repayments could be longer or shorter.
Does the ATO Charge Interest on Payment Plans?
Yes, the Australian Tax Office has a general interest charge (GIC). You can limit the cost of this by completing your plan rapidly. The faster you can repay your debt the lower the GIC will be.
How Do I Arrange an ATO Payment Plan?
You can contact the Australian Taxation Office by yourself. However, referring to an independent advisor to act on your behalf is more likely to result in a successful outcome. You can use the legal experience of the Corporate Lifeline team to represent your business and put forward the strongest case possible.
Once the ATO accepts the case, terms for paying the ATO will be agreed upon. After this, your monthly payment installments will begin.
Can Your Debt Payment Plan be Interest-Free?
For an interest-free plan, you would need to negotiate terms with the Australian Tax Office. It’s possible to arrange but specific terms would be set. For example, you’d need to pay off certain debts faster. The activity statement debt would need clearing within a year.
Additionally, you can support an interest-free case if you:
- Successfully cleared a taxation payment plan in the past.
- Can’t access loans to clear your debts.
- Can showcase your ability to meet future tax commitments.
