What happens if you don't respond
If you choose not to respond, we may:
- take further compliance action, such as an audit, which could result in additional costs to you
- estimate your net assessable amount or taxable income.
If we find you owe us tax, we may apply a penalty of at least 75% on that amount. This means an extra $750 for every $1,000 you owe.
