You may be aware that we are focusing more on collecting overdue debt, particularly GST and Employer (EMP) overdue debt.
If you have clients who have been contacted through our normal billing cycle and have not responded to us, they will be part of our focus. However, there is still an opportunity for you to confirm the accuracy of the debt and support your clients to explore debt repayment options.
We may contact your clients if they have not responded to our direct contact campaigns, including calls and SMS messaging.
If you have clients with overdue tax debt that is not currently under arrangement or in active negotiation, we may begin further actions such as bank or wage deductions. Please encourage these clients to contact us as soon as possible. We're here to help.
