What is tax debt?

Tax debt is the amount of unpaid taxes that an individual or business owes to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). It can include income tax, GST, superannuation liabilities, PAYG withholding, or other penalties applied by the ATO.

Failure to pay tax debt can lead to:

  • Accumulating interest and penalties (General Interest Charges).
  • Garnishee orders (where the ATO takes money directly from your bank account).
  • Director penalty notices (holding business directors personally liable).
  • Legal action or bankruptcy proceedings.


It’s essential to
act quickly to avoid these consequences by negotiating with the ATO or seeking professional help.
