Support for Bushfire impacted clients - Financial support & ATO lodgement extensions

Selwood Ackerly Accounting Services • Feb 24, 2020

We hope that all of our clients, your families and friends are safe during this difficult Summer/Bushfire period.

Re ATO Support

The ATO have identified postcodes of affected areas and granted automatic deferrals of lodgement and payment. https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/dealing-with-disasters/

However, not all affected areas in the Rural City of Wangaratta, Alpine Shire, Towong Shire and Indigo Shire's are currently listed for the automatic extensions (e.g. Whitfield, Myrtleford & Bright). We expect the list of postcodes granted automatic extension to grow as the ATO receive updated information.

If you have been impacted by the Bushfires and would like the ATO extensions be applied to you, please let us know and we will follow up for you.

All the very best, stay safe and please let us know if we can be of any assistance.
