Have you received a
Director Penalty Notice and can’t pay?

We hear from many directors that have found the ATO is pursuing them personally for a company tax debt. The ATO has issued over 200,000 Director Penalty Notices to directors and it has made them personally liable for their company’s tax debt.

This unexpected tax debt is causing financial stress for many directors.

It is confusing but you do have viable options.
