ATO Enforcement Actions Rise and Options for Refinancing Tax Debt
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is stepping up its use of prosecutions against businesses and individuals that deliberately ignore their tax obligations.
Successful prosecutions for non-lodgment shadow economy activity increased by more than 80% between 2024–25 and 2025–26, with more than 350 individuals and entities successfully prosecuted over the past two years.
While these cases relate to deliberate non-lodgment rather than simply carrying an ATO debt, they are a timely reminder not to let tax obligations linger.
If you have outstanding ATO tax debt and own residential or commercial property, DCHL may be able to refinance ATO tax debt into a:
Home loan
Commercial property loan
This can potentially make your tax debt easier to manage alongside other ongoing business expenses.
