4.         Using self help service to pay tax debt by instalments

If you have a tax debt of less than $25,000 it is possible for you to pay your outstanding debt by entering into a payment arrangement with the ATO and paying off your debt by instalments.

How to make a payment arrangement

A payment arrangement can be organised either by your tax advisor or by you, by calling the ATO’s automated self-help numbers and following the prompts – there is no need to talk to a tax officer.   

Provided the ATO accepts the proposed arrangement, personalised payment slips will be issued within seven working days to the postal address we currently have for you on ATO’s records.

To use this automated service you will need:

• the Australian business number (ABN) or tax file number (TFN)
• full details of the amount outstanding
• details of the arrangement you would like to make, such as the first payment date, payment frequency and the amount of each payment.

And Finally

An old man was relaxing at his hundredth birthday party when a reporter went up to him. "Sir, what is the secret of your long life?"

The man considered this for a moment, then replied, "Every day at 9 PM I have a glass of port. Good for the heart I've heard."

The reporter replied, "That's ALL?"

The man smiled, "That, and cancelling my voyage on the Titanic."
