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.
