What is Penalty Remission?

Penalty remission is a request to reduce or remove penalties imposed by the ATO for late payments, lodgments, or other compliance issues. The ATO may allow for penalty remission under certain circumstances, such as:

• Genuine Mistakes: Unintentional errors due to misunderstandings of tax laws.

• First-time Offenders: Penalties may be waived for those who have a clean compliance history.

• Serious Hardship: If paying the penalties would cause undue financial burden.

• Natural Disasters: Penalties can sometimes be reduced if you were affected by an event outside your control.
