Tax Return Crackdown on Separated Parents
The Child Support Agency (CSA) has recently signed a new agreement with the ATO, continuing a crackdown on separated parents who fail to lodge tax returns.
Under the old agreement, the CSA collected $82 million over four years by intercepting the tax returns from separated parents with a child support debt.
During this period, the ATO also referred 4,438 separated parents for prosecution for failing to lodge tax returns, resulting in 2,193 convictions.
The enforcement process begins with a letter from the ATO to the person required to lodge a tax return outlining their responsibilities.
Failure to lodge may result in fines or referral for prosecution.
The ATO has also advised that outstanding debts with any Government Agency will be settled prior to the release of any refund.
