ATO targeting unpaid tax and super

The ATO is changing its approach to businesses that continue to ignore ATO SMS and letter correspondence regarding unpaid tax and superannuation liabilities.

Where businesses do not engage with the ATO or set up a payment plan for unpaid GST, pay as you go (PAYG) withholding or employee super obligations, the ATO will move quickly to firmer actions such as Director Penalty Notices (DPNs) and garnishee arrangements.

Directors of multiple companies who allow amounts of GST, PAYG withholding and employee super to remain unpaid and ignore ATO correspondence can also expect to receive DPNs capturing the total value of these amounts across all related entities. The DPN system allows the ATO to recover these amounts personally from the directors.
