Key Change To Ato Interest Deductibility From 1 July 2025

From 1 July 2025, interest on unpaid tax debts will no longer be tax-deductible—even if the debt relates to an earlier financial year.

However, any interest charged by the ATO before 1 July 2025 can still be claimed as a deduction in your 2024–25 tax return.

If you have outstanding ATO debts, we strongly recommend booking a consultation with us. We can help you explore your repayment options, including tailored ATO payment plans. While general interest charges (GIC) will still apply, clearing the debt sooner can significantly reduce future interest costs.

To avoid these unnecessary charges, it’s now more important than ever to stay up to date with your tax obligations. As part of your strategy, we can also guide you on improving cash flow planning—for instance, setting aside GST, PAYG withholding, and superannuation contributions in advance.
