DIRECTOR PENALTY NOTICES ARE CONFUSING!There are two types of DPN:

  • A "DPN" may give you 21 days to take specific actions – do nothing and you are personally liable for some of the tax debt of the company.
  • So what? A director will need to take action to save the business of the company and to avoid personal liability
  • There is a “lockdown DPN” which means you are already personally liable for some of the tax debt of the company
  • So what? A director needs to take action to save the business and ensure no further personal liability

WHAT DOES "PERSONAL LIABILITY" MEAN?

  • If a company has a tax debt then it is just that – a debt due by the company and a director is not personally liable for that debt.
  • But if some of that debt is for staff PAYG deductions Superannuation then the ATO can make a director liable that debt.
  • The ATO makes a director liable by simply sending a Notice by mail – no Court action or Lawyers are required!
  • Does that mean your house is potentially on the line – yes!

THAT SOUNDS BAD!!! ARE THERE SOLUTIONS?

Absolutely! There are a number of actions that can be taken to either avoid the personal liability or reduce its impact.

But the opposite is also true – if you do nothing then you will become personally liable for the tax debt.
