Tear off the patch slowly or quickly. It is your choice

I have worked as a professional accountant for more than 20 years. And I’ve seen many different types of situations. And I know from experience that the best way to deal with it is … Have it sorted out ASAP.

It’s more painful to ‘tear the patch off’ and it’s certainly not pleasant if you do it SLOWLY. So be brave! Rip it off quickly and in one go! And it will be over and you will never have to think about it again.

6 tips to manage your ATO payment plan without default:

Here are my 6 top tips for managing your BAS debt and staying ‘off the hook’ with the ATO:

Make sure your first payment is paid by the due date of the first installment

Schedule monthly recurring payments from Net Bank (so you don’t forget)

Schedule the payment a few days before the due date (so it has time to clear)

Your next BAS shelter is not covered by the existing payment plan. So once you put down your next BAS, you have to pay for it in full. If you need to add a new BAS to the plan, you must submit it a few days before the due date (and then call the ATO as soon as possible to add the new BAS to the existing payment plan)

If you cannot pay a installment on time, let us know and we can call to request an extension (or if we are not your BAS agent, yes, you can call them yourself on 13 72 26.

If you default more than three times, a process is initiated whereby the ATO asks for more information about your financial situation and your future payment options. Once this point is reached it can also affect your creditworthiness and in some situations the ATO can seize your bank account (access money from your account without asking your permission).
