ATO payment plan
An ATO payment plan may suit the business if the repayments are manageable. Interest generally continues on unpaid amounts, so the full cost and term matter.

Finance your tax debt. Keep your business moving.
An unexpected ATO bill can put real pressure on cash flow. I’ll personally look at your situation, explain the finance options that may be available and tell you if an ATO payment plan or another path looks better.

Direct with Eric
You will not be passed from pillar to post
I’m Eric Burnett. I’ll read the enquiry, call you and explain what I believe is worth considering. If I think finance is not the most sensible option, I’ll say so.
Straight answers. Practical options. No judgement.
What I can explore
Practical ways to relieve the cash-flow pressure
The structure depends on the business and the reason the debt arose. I may look at:
- Business tax debt financeA loan structured around the amount, term and repayment capacity.
- Equipment or vehicle refinanceUsing eligible business assets to restructure existing commitments or release working capital.
- Working capitalFunding intended to support cash flow while the business meets current obligations.
- Debt consolidationCombining suitable business debts where it improves clarity and the overall position.

Common questions
Before you enquire
Can a business get finance to pay an ATO debt?
Possibly. The options depend on the business, trading history, ability to repay, credit profile, debt amount and any available security. An enquiry is not an approval.
Is an ATO payment plan better than finance?
Sometimes. The right answer depends on the repayment amount, term, total cost and effect on cash flow. I can explain finance options; tax advice should come from the ATO or a registered tax professional.
Will this enquiry affect my credit file?
No. Sending this form does not trigger a credit enquiry. I’ll explain the next step and obtain your consent before any formal application or credit check.
Can you help if an ATO payment plan is not working?
I can review whether a business loan, equipment or vehicle refinance, or another finance structure may be available. Finance is not guaranteed and may not be the most suitable option.
What information may be needed later?
The first enquiry only needs the basics. If it makes sense to continue, I may ask for an ATO account statement, business financials, bank statements, existing loan details and information about available assets.
