The ATO has several mandates under their taxation provisions. As a result, if you don’t pay tax or manage your obligations:

  • Firstly, the ATO sees your business as causing a non-competitive environment of trade and will close your business.
  • Secondly, closing or winding up your business moves the revenue to a competitor. As a result, taxes start coming in from that business.
  • Thirdly, the ATO removes your business it brings competition back into your market space. i.e. the new business charges appropriately for services with consideration to the tax payable.
  • Finally, the sale of assets using Business Liquidation and director bankruptcy forces the recovery of lost taxes.
