GARNISHEE NOTICE

A garnishee notice allows a creditor to access money directly from your bank, financier or debtors.

The Australian Taxation Office “ATO” has the power to issue a Garnishee Notice in order to collect taxes owing to it.

Losing access to your money may have an extremely detrimental impact on your business’ cash flow. We see companies that are unable to pay wages or suppliers because the money in their bank account has been garnisheed.

Garnishee of wages is also available for personal debts such as a Directors Penalty Notice.

The two most common Garnishees are as follows:

GARNISHEE TO DEBTORS

ATO and others can collect money from your debtors by providing a debtor with a court notice requiring that the monies owed by the debtor to your company are not to be paid to the company that is owed the monies, but instead, directly to the ATO.

GARNISHEE TO BANK ACCOUNT

The ATO can collect funds that your company holds in a bank account by providing a notice to the Financial Institution requiring that monies held in a designated bank account of the company be paid directly to the ATO.
