If the ATO has put you on Pay As You Go (PAYG) instalments, it means you’ll be making advance payments toward your expected tax bill based on your last tax return. The idea? Spread the load during the year so you’re not hit with one big bill at tax time.
Common traps:
• Not varying instalments when income changes
• Underestimating tax → ATO interest charges
What to do:
• Review your income regularly
• Set aside tax in a separate account
• Vary instalments via myGov, Business Portal, or through us if your income has changed
