In some circumstances, directors can be held personally liable for their company’s superannuation and BAS debts owed to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

The ATO can seek to make a director personally liable for these debts under an ATO director penalty notice. Appointing a liquidator or administrator to your company can avoid personal liability for these debts:

• for periods where a debt remains unpaid, the respective BAS or superannuation guarantee charge statements have been lodged on time; and
• a director penalty notice hasn’t been issued or, if it has been issued, an administrator or liquidator is appointed within 21 days of the date of the notice.
• Director penalty notices are issued to the director’s personal residence, which is recorded with ASIC, so it’s important you keep your details up to date.

In our experience, while the ATO is keen to recover money owed, the primary reason for issuing a director penalty notice is to encourage a company that’s not meeting its lodgement and/or payment obligations to deal with it promptly.

So, if your company isn’t meeting its obligations, and you want to avoid a director penalty notice, deal with your company’s situation before the ATO forces you to.

You have 21 days to take action from the date of the DPN before the ATO can/may take action against you to recover the penalty amount.

If you're unable to pay your debt with the ATO it's important you act swiftly and either reach out to your lawyer, or our qualified team of financial professionals at Revive Financial
