TAX ARREARS FAQs

An independent, professional party like Tax Debt Management advocating for you, means the ATO will be more sympathetic, in our experience. We will give the Australian Taxation Office confidence that your current tax arrears can be resolved and that future tax payments will be made.

If you have tax arrears but no accountant that can help and you do not wish to use our tax debt services, then yes, you should talk directly with the ATO a.s.a.p. But don’t expect consideration or to talk your way out of your tax problems. Issues surrounding tax arrears are notoriously complicated and the Australian Taxation Office cannot be trifled with.

Negotiating on your own behalf may not be the best approach and is likely to deliver a less than desirable outcome for you or your business. You will need to talk about specific tax points, give thorough financial details, and come up with a payment schedule that is acceptable to the ATO but realistic for you. You don’t want to realise later that you are worse off after your negotiations.

Your accountant will want the best for you but many are short of time, or don’t have the know-how or the means to negotiate with the ATO on your behalf. But if you think your accountant can help, then talk to them first. They may well recommend you take advantage of a specialist Tax Debt Negotiator like Tax Debt Management.
