ATO offers relief to flood victims
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has offered to fast-track tax refunds to victims of the storms in Queensland and give taxpayers more time to pay off their debts without accumulating interest charges.
The tax commissioner, Michael D’Ascenzo, said the tax office understood that this was a trying time for residents in Queensland and that the ATO would move to alleviate the strain on victims.
The tax office also offered to help residents reconstruct destroyed tax records and give them more time to meet deadlines to lodge their tax returns.
