255-10 To defer the payment time
Deferrals for particular taxpayers
The Commissioner may, having regard to the circumstances of your particular case, defer the time at which an amount of a *tax‑related liability is, or would become, due and payable by you (whether or not the liability has already arisen). If the Commissioner does so, that time is varied accordingly.
General interest charge or any other relevant penalty, if applicable for any unpaid amount of the liability, will begin to accrue from the time as varied. See, for example, paragraph 5‑15(a) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
The Commissioner must do so by written notice given to you.
Deferrals for classes of taxpayers
The Commissioner, having regard to the circumstances of the case, may, by notice published on the Australian Taxation Office website, defer the time at which amounts of *tax‑related liabilities are, or would become, due and payable by a class of taxpayers (whether or not the liabilities have already arisen).
If the Commissioner does so, that time is varied accordingly.
General interest charge and any other relevant penalties, if applicable for any unpaid amounts of the liabilities, will begin to accrue from the time as varied. See, for example, paragraph 5‑15(a) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
A notice published under subsection (2A) is not a legislative instrument.
Deferral does not affect time for giving form
A deferral under this section does not defer the time for giving an *approved form to the Commissioner.
Section 388‑55 allows the Commissioner to defer the time for giving an approved form.
