Key updates from the Federal Budget 2026-27 

Introduction

What is GIC and why it matters

Inside the GIC remission review (findings)

Why remission decisions are inconsistent

When GIC becomes unfair for clients

Recommendation: remission and payment plans

Can you challenge a GIC decision?

What practitioners can do instead

Recent ATO changes and what they mean

What’s next: online services for agents

In this episode of Small Firm, Big Impact, we unpack how the ATO manages remission of the General Interest Charge (GIC) and what it means for accounting firms and their clients. 

With rising cost pressures and increased scrutiny, GIC is becoming a bigger issue in practice. But how remission decisions are made, and why outcomes can vary, is not always clear. 

Our host, Lisa Lintern, is joined by Ruth Owen, Inspector-General of Taxation and Taxation Ombudsman, who shares insights from a recent review into GIC remission, and the key issues raised by CA ANZ members. 

In this episode, we discuss: 
How the ATO approaches GIC remission decisions 
Why inconsistency occurs, and what’s changing 
When practitioners should consider applying for remission 
Practical ways to support clients facing growing GIC 
What informal review options are available if decisions are declined 

Resources mentioned:
