Tax debt interest under investigation 

A review of how the ATO manages the interest on unpaid tax debt is underway, with the community encouraged to have their say. 

The Tax Ombudsman has commenced a new review and is especially interested in looking at where taxpayers seek to have their interest charges reduced or removed (remitted) from their account when seeking to pay their tax debts. 

We want to hear from as many affected people as possible: individuals, tax professionals, community organisations, industry groups and any other interested parties.
