Guide to Division 268  

SECTION 268-1   WHAT THIS DIVISION IS ABOUT  


This Division enables the Commissioner to make an estimate of:

  • (a) amounts not paid as required by Part 2-5 of this Act (Pay as you go (PAYG) withholding); or
  • (b) unpaid superannuation guarantee charge; or
  • (c) net amounts in respect of GST, wine equalisation tax and luxury car tax;
  • and to recover the amount of the estimate.

    If you are given an estimate, you are liable to pay the amount of the estimate. That liability is distinct from your liability to pay the amounts required by Part 2-5 or the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 . In the case of an estimate of a net amount that has been assessed by the Commissioner, that liability is distinct from your liability to pay the amount of the assessment. However, you can ensure that the Commissioner does not require you to pay more than the relevant unpaid amounts.

    Other Divisions of this Part provide for the recovery of amounts payable under this Division.
