Director Duties & Compliance at EOFY: What the ATO Expects from You

Being a director means the ATO can come after you personally, not just your company. Most directors know tax time is busy, but fewer realise how much of it lands on them personally. If your company falls behind on PAYG withholding, super, or ATO lodgements, you can face a director penalty notice and personal liability for the debt. In this session, Albert Jaucian, Commercial Lawyer at Lawpath Legal, and Timothy Quinn, Head of Tax & Accounting at Lawpath, cover the legal and tax obligations directors need to have across before 30 June, and what your options are if your company is under pressure.

11th June, 2026, 12:00 PM AEST

In this session, Albert and Timothy will cover: 

  • Director penalty notices: what triggers a DPN, how quickly the ATO can act, and why waiting makes it worse.
  • PAYG withholding obligations: your legal duty to withhold and remit, and the personal liability that follows if you don't. 
  • Superannuation guarantee at EOFY: confirming contributions are paid on time and understanding what the SGC means for directors personally.
  • ASIC compliance deadlines: the annual review obligations and lodgement requirements directors need to meet before and after 30 June.
  • When your company is struggling: the legal and tax steps available if your business can't meet its ATO obligations, and how to act before it's too late.
