Directors' Personal Liability for Company Taxation Debts & Superannuation
With the Jobkeeper subsidy having now ended, it is a timely reminder for directors to understand the personal liability they can face for Company tax debts. In April 2020 the ATO added GST, Luxury Car Tax ("LCT") and Wine Equalisation Tax ("WET") to the list of taxation debts for which a director can be held personally liable.
