From the Tax Office

The ATO recognises that businesses in flood affected areas of Queensland, Northern NSW, and Western Australia may need more time to meet their lodgement and payment obligations.

Businesses with addresses within one of the identified flood affected postcodes will automatically have their lodgement and payment dates deferred for December monthly activity statements from the original due date of 21 January 2011 to 21 February 2011.
