Finance Specialist: What the growing ATO debt problem means for brokers
Published 1 day, 16 hours ago
Description
Small business collectible tax debt reached $35.9 billion in 2024–25 as the ATO steps up efforts to recover unpaid liabilities. What does this mean for commercial brokers?
In this episode of Finance Specialist, Julian Barnes is joined by Trent Carter from Accendo to explore why businesses are relying on the ATO as a source of credit, how brokers can identify the cash flow problems behind tax debt, and where commercial finance can help.
The conversation also examines why refinancing alone may not be enough, what lenders look for when funding tax debt, and when brokers need to refer clients to other professionals.
