Did you know the ATO can waive late tax penalties in the right circumstances?
Penalty remission is not automatic, but it is available. Factors that support a successful remission request include:
- Acting before the ATO contacts you
- Demonstrating a genuine reason for the delay
- A clean compliance history in prior years
- Lodging all outstanding returns at the time of the request
Acting early is the single biggest factor. The longer the delay, the harder remission becomes to argue.
Australia Wide Tax Solutions lodges overdue returns and manages remission requests on behalf of our clients. We know what the ATO looks for and how to present your circumstances effectively.
