Choosing the professionals at Tax Negotiators means you have a whole team of experienced and compassionate individuals to support you.

At Tax Negotiators, we can take care of everything for you. We can handle all communication and negotiations with debt collectors, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and other creditors on your behalf, allowing you to focus on running your business.

Not all businesses are the same; so not all debt management strategies are effective. In order to be successful, companies must implement debt management plans that are appropriate for their unique circumstances. Moreover, it’s important to employ solutions that cater to long-term success, as opposed to ‘quick fix’ solutions that can actually be detrimental in the long-run.

At Tax Negotiators, we can guide you towards the right solutions to ensure you get debt free and stay debt free. These may include:

PAYMENT PLANS

Payment plans are an arrangement that allow debtors to pay back money they owe in instalments over a set period of time. This financial strategy enables companies to afford and better manage their debt repayments by regulating cash flow.

Before approving a payment plan, the ATO may require companies to demonstrate their ongoing viability. To do this, they may request financial information and details regarding gross margins, liabilities and working capital.

Sole traders, individuals and businesses that owe less than $100,000 may set up a payment plan online, over the phone or through their registered tax or bas agent.

INTEREST FREE PAYMENT PLANS

Small businesses with business activity statement debt of up to $50,000 may be eligible for an interest free payment plan. Other eligibility criteria for businesses include that:

• they must not have an annual turnover exceeding $2 million
• the debt must not be more than 12 months overdue
• they must have a good history of payment
• they must have a good history of lodging tax returns and business activity statements by their due date
• they are unable to secure finance
• they are able to substantiate viability

Interest free payment plans must be paid via direct debit within 12 months. Missed or late payments could result in future payment plans being denied, so it is essential to pay each instalment on time.

DEBT NEGOTIATION

Debt negotiation is the process of contacting creditors to arrange revised and more favorable repayment terms. This is beneficial to all parties as it steadies cash flow and prevents the accumulation of more debt for debtors, and ensures creditors are paid.

Debt negotiation is often an effective solution in situations where an ATO payment plan is denied. Through negotiation, companies can often reduce their principal debt as well as any associated late payment fees, penalties and the general interest charge. The ATO and other creditors are receptive to debt negotiation as they understand that periods of financial stress are common in business and ultimately, it helps to ensure they are paid.

RELEASE OF TAX DEBT

It some circumstances, companies may be released from their debt entirely if they have been subject to extreme, mitigating circumstances. Such extenuating circumstances may include hardship caused by:

• Serious illness
• A natural disaster
• A relationship breakdown
• The loss of a loved one

WE CAN HELP!

Negotiating the money you owe against a tax debt can be overwhelming, so it’s important to seek the services of a professional tax agent. At Tax Negotiators, we are experienced in negotiating tax and activity statement debt for our clients, ensuring they only pay the minimum amount required. Additionally, if you have been subject to extenuating circumstances we can effectively represent your situation to the ATO and work towards having your tax debt waived.

DEBT CONSOLIDATION LOANS

Debt consolidation loans are another way to efficiently manage debt and eliminate unnecessary costs. Companies that owe money against multiple business loans or debts, to multiple creditors, can simplify their repayments by rolling everything into a single line of regular repayments.

With a single interest rate to maintain, this method enables businesses to more easily calculate their costs and manage their finances. Additionally, by consolidating multiple debts into one line of regular payments, businesses are less likely to make late payments or forget to pay altogether. As a result, they are also less likely to incur penalties, default on a plan or loan, or overextend their spending; consequently, this can improve their credit score and ability to obtain finance or a loan in the future.

Debt consolidation loans are generally most effective on smaller debts or unsecured debts as they tend to carry the highest interest charges. Unsecured debts are those that are not tied to any property as collateral for the loan.
