What is a tax debt loan?
Tax debt loans are funding solutions that help businesses pay off their tax debts to the ATO. They are especially helpful when a payment plan is not possible or is unsuitable.
For debts up to $200,000, the ATO accepts online applications for payment plans with a minimum upfront payment of 5% and a maximum term of two years. Many businesses might not be able to comply with these terms. The maximum term of 2 years can result in large, unmanageable payments, and the minimum upfront payment can be too much if your tax debt is too high.
With tax debt loans, you can borrow up to $50 million, helping you clear all your tax debt in one go. With the help of Dark Horse Financial, you can customise terms and secure the lowest rates to get manageable repayments and get your business back on track financially.

What should I do if I can’t pay my business tax?
The first thing you should do if you owe taxes is to call the ATO before the due date. The ATO will usually listen to the situation and help you find a way to pay on time. If you don’t pay your taxes on time, the ATO automatically adds the General Interest Charge to your unpaid tax debt. If you don’t deal with the ATO correctly, unpaid taxes can lead to legal action and big penalties.
Here are some ways you can deal with tax debts before they get out of hand:
Lump Sum Payment: If you have enough cash on hand, paying off your ATO debt in a single payment can help you avoid GIC and escalating actions.
ATO Payment Plans: The ATO can help you set up a payment plan with a maximum term of 2 years.
ATO Business Loan: You can use secured or unsecured loans to pay off tax debt and avoid ATO action.
Asset-Based Lending: Leverage property or plant & equipment to raise capital to pay out your outstanding ATO debt.
Cash Flow Finance: Use overdrafts or lines of credit to manage repayments while continuing daily operations.

If a DPN has been issued personal liability can be avoided if, within 21 days of issue, a company goes into administration, is wound up, appoints a restructuring practitioner, or pays out the debt.

An ATO business payment plan is an arrangement with the Australian Tax Office to pay off your tax debt in instalments over time, often with added interest and penalties. One of the reasons business owners seek a loan to pay out their tax debt is ATO business payment plans are often too demanding on business cash flow because they’re not over a long enough time period.
If a DPN has been issued personal liability can be avoided if, within 21 days of issue, a company goes into administration, is wound up, appoints a restructuring practitioner, or pays out the debt. If your PAYG and GST was reported more than 3 months after its due date the only way to avoid personal liability is to pay out the debt.
ATO penalty interest or General Interest Charge (GIC) is a charge imposed by the Australian Tax Office on overdue tax debts. The GIC rate changes quarterly and is based on the Australian government’s borrowing rate, with a margin added for administrative costs. This interest accrues daily, meaning that the longer the debt remains unpaid, the more interest you will have to pay.
The interest rates on tax debt loans depend on things like the type of loan (secured or unsecured), the length of the loan, your business’s credit score, and the state of the market right now. We work with a group of lenders to get your business the best rates possible.

Unsecured loans and bridging finance can be used to fund a tax debt loan the same day as the application. How fast your loan settles will depend on which type of loan you apply for and your personal circumstances. If you need to get a loan urgently to pay out tax debt it could be appropriate to get a short-term bridging loan and then refinance that debt with cheaper long-term funding from a bank.
Yes, our unsecured overdraft can be used to pay out company tax debt. Our overdraft is a genuine revolving line of credit and can be set up with no establishment fees.
The application process for a tax debt loan depends on which type of loan best suits your circumstances. Unsecured loans will typically be a no doc solution that is assessed through a bank data link. Private lenders also won’t require financials as they will seek to understand the equity in property being used for security by carrying out a valuation. If you’re raising capital against equipment finance you may need to provide financials as part of the assessment process depending on the loan amount.
