I have a Garnishee Notice.
What can I do?
An ATO Garnishee Notice can be issued to a person or business that holds money for you or may hold money for you at a future date. A copy of this notice will also be sent to you.
The notice requires that person or business to pay your money directly to the ATO to reduce your tax debt.
If you receive an ATO Garnishee Notice, it means that the ATO has identified a third party that owes money to you and they have decided to recover the debt by issuing a legal notice to that third party to pay the money to the ATO instead of paying it to you. The third party could be an employer, a contractor, or a bank, among others.
An ATO Garnishee Notice can be a significant issue for taxpayers, as it can impact their cash flow and ability to pay their bills and expenses. Therefore, it is essential to take action promptly if you receive one.
