Tax Assure. For Finance Brokers
For finance brokers

Most brokers see the stick. Few see the carrot.

$54B in collectable ATO debt, two-thirds held by SMEs. Those businesses still need finance. That's a pipeline most brokers walk straight past.

The shift What changed.
Before The ATO as small business bank. COVID allowed it. Businesses used it as a float, for years.
Lenders wouldn't touch ATO debt. Two assumptions that held. Until they didn't.
The reality “Lenders don't necessarily need the debt cleared. They need ATO compliance.” Michael Moon · Director, Tax Assure
Inside the $54B Tax debt doesn't kill deals. Ignoring it will. The stick is real. The carrot is bigger.
The carrot

The $54B is deal flow.

Those businesses still need finance. The brokers who can walk into the conversation with a solution are writing deals their competitors aren't.

GIC and penalties can be 30–50% of the balance. In the right circumstances that changes what a client needs at settlement.

The four horsemen

Four actions that blow up deals.

Winding up proceedings
Get your client into a payment plan. They're protected.
The protection They blow up deals.
They don't have to.
Protect your client from the four horsemen by engaging a tax debt specialist who will fast-track a payment plan.

The principle

"Lenders don't necessarily need the debt cleared. They need ATO compliance."

Michael Moon · Director, Tax Assure

What it means

A payment plan brings the ATO inside the tent. Enforcement stops. The lender has compliance. The deal proceeds.

You can't see what's coming. DPNs and garnishees drop without warning. If financing is six weeks away, the client needs to be in a plan now.

"The days of treating the ATO like the easy, cheap small business bank are gone."

What we do Specialists in ATO debt. It's all we do. That's why we move faster than a generalist.

Payment plan negotiation

Direct with the ATO. Faster outcomes than a generalist can deliver.

Interest and penalty remission

Where grounds exist. We're honest about what's achievable before we engage.

DPN exposure management

Personal liability assessed early. The director's risk contained while the business position is resolved.

The bigger picture It's not only about stuck deals. The brokers getting the most out of this aren't only using us as a rescue call.
Pipeline

The $54B is also deal flow

Funding the businesses carrying the debt is deal flow most brokers don't know to look for.

Acquisition

The door most won't knock on

Walk into a tax debt conversation with a solution. Write deals competitors aren't.

Retention

Stay in the conversation

Surface the pathway before the client goes looking. Keep the relationship.
