Consequences of Corporate Tax Debt
The COVID-19 Pandemic had an impact on most companies, corporations, and small businesses alike in Australia. Many companies are still struggling with ATO tax obligations and business debt for those income years as they try to keep their shareholders happy. While the ATO generally eased off on collecting tax debt payable in those income years, it has now ramped up its tax debt collection and is actively chasing up billions of dollars in outstanding tax debts from small business entities, companies and corporations.
This has left many companies skating at the edge of bankruptcy or corporate tax avoidance with debt costs piled up high and dreading the consequences, such as the ATO reporting their corporation’s tax debt to credit reporting bureaus. If this is you, we urge you to seek out options such as getting in touch with us at Tax negotiators so we can negotiate with the ATO on behalf of your company to sort out your repayment options. Our experts can help you deal with the consequences of corporate tax debt, so don’t delay.

Corporations and businesses of any size will end up with a tax debt that they will need to manage, but that’s the secret, knowing how to manage, prevent or reduce it. At Tax Negotiators, we can help you do this and to understand corporate debt refinancing tax implications and corporate tax credits in reducing your tax debt.
Tax credits can reduce your tax, but what is a corporate tax credit? There are three basic types of corporate tax credits:
- Nonrefundable: A nonrefundable tax credit can reduce the tax your corporation owes to nil, but there will be no tax refund.
- Refundable: Refundable tax credits benefit your company since they are paid out in full.
- Partially refundable: Part of your credits are refundable.
Good corporate housekeeping is one way to stay on top of tax debt and this means paying the debt before it is due so you don’t accrue hefty interest. Understanding what deductions you can make, what equipment to purchase and how to invest in operations can help reduce your tax liability.
