Global tourism and air travel has effectively been brought to a resounding halt, and the Domestic travel front hasn’t fared much better, with the pandemic causing some State Governments to impose hard border closures, all but surrendering certain state economies to the…

F.A.F.G.A – The perils of a failed DOCA
A recent Federal Court case (1) has found that the liquidator of a company after a failed Deed of Company Arrangement (DOCA) [our FAQ’s on DOCA’s can be found here] may recover payments made to the ATO, on tax debts accrued during the DOCA period, as unfair preferences (pursuant to ss 588FA and 588FE(2B) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Act)). Despite not being directly dealt with in this…

I am stating the obvious by saying the COVID-19 caused lockdown in Australia will not be remembered by most as the Time of Opportunity in the lucky country, or in any country. Seeing revenue drop for many businesses by amounts no-one (save for those wearing tin-foil hats) would have planned for has caused intense stress amongst business owners.

Isolating from a Bankruptcy Trustee?
There is an old bankruptcy expression called “keeping house” – an act of bankruptcy in fact before a person is made bankrupt. Picture the blinds that are drawn all day, the doorbell and knocks that go unanswered even though the lights are on and the debtor is at home, but unwilling to discuss his/her circumstances or accept service of legal documents. On a small number of files, this behaviour continues…

Directors in the ATO Sights
In recent years, there has been a public policy push towards greater accountability from (particularly) directors in the corporate space. The perception that unscrupulous directors are abusing the legislative framework to avoid having to pay both employee entitlements and taxation liabilities, or are using the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as a quasi-financier has resulted in a raft of new measures to deter this behaviour. A necessary outcome of this push…

In November 2019 I authored an article entitled ‘Surviving the Christmas Cash Flow Hangover – A Retail Focus’ It was discussed that the December Business Activity Statement is often the largest one for the year due to the higher sales that Christmas generates, which results in a large GST bill and a suitably high pay-as-you-go instalment for the same reason, given additional staffing required at this time. So, if you…
