Australia Taxation Office (ATO): GIC rates

• Posted by Dejan Pekic BCom DipFP CFP GAICD, Senior Financial Planner

We have received a number of inquiries from clients about General Interest Charge (GIC) which the ATO charges for failing to meet tax obligations.

As part of our investigation, we discovered that the GIC has now climbed to 11.15% per annum which is nearing its 2008 high of 14.75% per annum.

Click for GIC.

Bottom line, pay your tax and on time.
