Running a business in Sydney costs more than almost anywhere else in the country. Rent, wages and payroll tax all run high, so when trade slows or a big customer pays late, the gap opens fast. Hospitality, construction and professional services tend to feel it first. We work with business owners, directors and individuals across Sydney and New South Wales dealing with ATO debt, a Director Penalty Notice, a Revenue NSW payroll tax notice, or a business that can’t keep up with what it owes. Most people talk to us by phone or video because it saves time and stays private, but if you’d rather sit across the table, we’ll come to you, whether that’s the CBD, Parramatta, Penrith, the Central Coast, Newcastle or Wollongong. There’s no office to travel to and no waiting room. We’re not a liquidator or a trustee. Our job is working out your real options and coordinating the right one, before anyone’s appointed and the choices narrow.

Where we work around Sydney
Getting across Sydney for a meeting can cost half a day, so most of our Sydney clients talk to us by phone or video instead. That covers the CBD and North Shore, Parramatta and Western Sydney, the Northern Beaches, and further out to the Central Coast, Newcastle and Wollongong. If you’d rather meet face to face, we’ll come to you. Areas we cover include:
Sydney questions
Revenue NSW has sent me a compliance notice about payroll tax. Is that like a DPN?
It works much the same way. Under section 47B of the Taxation Administration Act 1996 (NSW), Revenue NSW can issue a compliance notice to a director or former director. If the company’s payroll tax isn’t dealt with within 21 days of the notice, the director becomes personally liable for it. Paying it, an arrangement with Revenue NSW, or the company going into voluntary administration or liquidation within those 21 days can stop that. Call us the day it arrives.
A creditor has served a statutory demand on my Sydney company. How long have we got?
21 days. In that time the company has to pay, reach an agreement, or apply to the court to have the demand set aside. The court can’t extend the time to apply. If nothing happens, the company is presumed insolvent and the creditor can apply to wind it up. In Sydney that’s usually at the Federal Court, Law Courts Building, Queens Square, 184 Phillip Street, or the Supreme Court of NSW.
I’m in Parramatta or Western Sydney. Can we meet face to face?
Yes. Most people choose phone or video because it’s quicker and private, but if you’d rather sit across the table, we’ll come to you anywhere in Sydney, from the CBD to Penrith, Newcastle or Wollongong. Tell us when you book.
Talk it through — no cost, no pressure.
Pick a time that suits you, by phone or video. We’ll talk through your situation and your options, privately. Since 1988.
