The ATO has provided relief from lodgement compliance and payment obligations for those impacted by the bushfires. An automatic twomonth deferral for activity statements lodgements and payments due has been provided to those in affected postcodes. Taxpayers can also call the ATO directly to request further assistance, such as requesting extra time to manage tax debt or lodgements, help finding lost documentation such as Tax File Numbers, reconstructing tax documentation, fast tracking refunds, interest free periods, and remittance of penalties or interest charged during the crisis.
