The challenge
Despite running an established family business, tough market competition and compounded cash flow pressures left Chris trapped in a stressful cycle of mounting tax debt.
Cash flow pressures
Intense industry competition put a severe strain on the company’s daily operational cash flow.
Using GST funds
To keep the business running and staff employed, Chris had to use funds originally set aside for GST, compounding his tax liabilities.
Mounting ATO debt
The tax debt quickly escalated to ~$50,000, creating an enormous financial burden for the business.
Risk of ATO action
The sheer volume of the debt and the risk of aggressive ATO collection action put the entire business and his employees’ livelihoods in jeopardy.
The solution
Comprehensive financial assessment
Expert negotiation
Tailored repayment strategy
Future-proofing
Why this approach worked
Getting started is easy and straightforward
Halted ATO collection action
By proactively negotiating with the ATO and establishing an agreed-upon plan, we immediately stopped any further aggressive collection actions, securing the future of the family business and protecting his employees.
Sustainable cash flow management
Instead of facing a crippling lump-sum demand, Chris now has a structured, manageable monthly repayment plan. This allows the glass company to continue operating successfully while systematically clearing the tax debt.
The result
Chris successfully entered into a formal ATO repayment plan, experiencing immediate relief from tax office pressure. The outcome eliminated the threat of forced closure, protected his staff, and provided a realistic, stress-free framework to get his business back in the black.
Additional benefits
Protection for business assets and the livelihoods of employees
Mental clarity and significantly reduced stress
Improved daily cash flow management through newly implemented, professional accounting strategies
A restored, positive relationship with the ATO through consistent and structured repayments
Wiping extreme tax debt
When Kelly’s sole trader tiling business left her with nearly $350,000 in ATO tax debt, losing her home, vehicles, and livelihood felt inevitable. Standard options weren’t viable, and bankruptcy would have ended her business entirely. We structured a Personal Insolvency Agreement, wiping 60% of her debt into a single affordable weekly payment – letting her keep her property, her vehicles, and her business.
Consolidating massive tax debt
After years of running his own business as a shotfirer, Dom was left with $130,000 in debt – mostly owed to the ATO – and no way to manage it as a regular employee. Bankruptcy would have returned nothing to creditors and left him with little to show for his working years. We arranged a Personal Insolvency Agreement, wiping 40% of his debt and consolidating the rest into a single affordable weekly payment, letting him keep his vehicle and move forward free of ATO pressure.
