ATO Disaster Support
If you've been affected by an event or natural disaster such as a bushfire, cyclone, drought, flood, or storm, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) can support you. Depending on your situation, the ATO may be able to:
- give you extra time to pay tax or lodge tax returns, activity statements, or other obligations
- set up a payment plan tailored to your individual situation
- remit penalties or interest charged during the time you've been affected
For further information, visit Natural disaster support | Australian Taxation Office or telephone the ATO to discuss your particular circumstances, telephone 1800 806 218.
