What is ATO penalty remission?
ATO penalty remission is a formal request made to the Australian Taxation Office asking for a penalty to be reduced or fully removed. It is usually considered when a taxpayer has a valid reason for missing deadlines or making errors, such as illness, hardship, natural events, or circumstances beyond their control.
