Let’s Talk
Time is of the essence with regard to a DPN (21 days from the date on the DPN).
Please don't wait another minute. The time is NOW.
We will offer a free initial consultation, advising you of the best option for your particular circumstances.
We are not a liquidator or a finance company offering only predetermined and limited options.
What is a DPN?
A Director Penalty Notice (DPN) is a notice issued from the Australian Tax Office (ATO) to the director potentially making them personally liable for the company’s tax debt.
The DPN is issued when the company has not paid and/or reported their tax obligations or has significant debt outstanding.
This is in relation to Pay As You Go, Superannuation Guarantee Charge and Goods and Services Tax.
A DPN gives you a maximum of 21 days from the date on the penalty notice to take action to remedy the DPN.
Failure to remedy a DPN within the 21 days, makes you a director personally liable and you will be reported to credit rating agencies.
If you have received a DPN, contact our specialist team today for your free consultation.
What We Do?
Quickly establish the financial position of the business and obligations of the directors after examining the company financials.
Provide a cost effective way to restructure the company balance sheet.

Provide a comprehensive action plan with the objective of asset protection and enabling the business to continue operations.
If insolvency is the only option, DPN Assist will position our clients in the most favourable position resulting in improved outcomes.
DPN Assist can act on our clients behalf to negotiate reduced debt levels with creditors and banks.

What To Do?
You are not alone if you feel there is no way out of your company tax debt situation. We understand the stress you're under since we face it frequently. Despite the fact that it could seem as though there is no hope and no one to turn to, assistance is available by phone call, and solutions can be found.
We analyse your position, provide you advice on how to fix it, and then negotiate on your behalf with the ATO to make it happen. Our knowledge and experience are unmatched since we have worked with customers from every industry as well as small businesses, individuals, and major corporations.
The most recent Annual Report from the ATO has been published, and it provides deeper insights into the assistance the ATO has provided to the community through previously unheard-of hard circumstances. The ATO's stance is quite clear when the economy improves:
The collectable debt has increased from $26.6 billion before Covid to $45 billion as of June 30, 2022, and some sources estimate that it may now be in excess of $50 billion. Small businesses owe approximately two thirds of this.
The ATO is certainly getting tougher and implementing more effective debt collection measures. The ATO has extended its engagement and awareness programmes as a result of rising debt levels. There will be firmer and more stringent actions. DPNs and other types of legal redress are increasing.
Get in touch with us to learn more about our services if you want assistance in interacting with the ATO to satisfy your company tax burden. It’s confidential and free to chat.
Timing is crucial when it comes to handling ATO debt. The essential lesson is to get guidance early, act quickly, and do it correctly.
If your business is in debt to the government due to unpaid taxes, this is not the time to sit on your hands. For more information on how our tax debt specialists may work with the ATO directly to get compliance with your tax debt and save harsher penalties, get in touch for a private chat.
