One of the medium-term issues facing Lismore and Northern Rivers business owners has been around tax payments, for example, the quarterly BAS payments when they were closed for varying time frames—some as long as 12 months.

Any business owner who wishes to hear what support options and strategies from the 2022 big flood and future disasters should come along to Invercauld House tonight from 5:30pm.

The information and discussion session with leaders from the Australian Taxation Office, Anna Longley, Acting Deputy Commissioner and Deputy Registrar, and Emma Tobias, Assistant Commissioner, and their team is presented by Business NSW and Business Lismore. It has been made possible through the advocacy of Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin.

The session presents a valuable opportunity to engage directly with the ATO representatives on key topics impacting local businesses in Lismore, and hear about strategies and support options available to help businesses particularly given the impacts of the 2022 weather event on business continuity and recovery. 

This session is open to all business leaders to learn about specific support available for small business in working with the ATO.
