Parliament has just passed legislation to include GST in the Director Penalty Notice (‘DPN”) Regime, and it comes into effect on 1 April 2020.
A Director Penalty Notice is a Notice that the Australian Tax Office (“ATO“) can send to a director that can make that director personally liable for, currently, two types of tax debts of a company – Pay As You Go (“PAYG“) and Superannuation Guarantee Charge (“SGC“) liabilities.
