ATO support for small business
Liz Gibbs • October 3, 2017

The ATO reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the mental health of small business owners in the lead up to World Mental Health Day on the 10 October 2017. ATO Deputy Commissioner for Small Business, Deborah Jenkins, said small business owners experiencing the warning signs of a mental health condition should check out the support available from the ATO at  https://www.ato.gov.au/smallbizmentalhealth. 

 

The ATO support includes tailored payment plans, delaying a lodgment or payment, and organising a call-back or assistance visit. A person can call the ATO directly on 13 11 42, or ask someone to speak with the ATO on their behalf by nominating them as a representative.

 

If you are a small business owner who may be experiencing stress, anxiety or depression, and struggling to meet their tax and super commitments, the ATO can help alleviate some of the pressure.   Find out about help and support available here https://www.ato.gov.au/smallbizmentalhealth
