Hi,


I am currently experiencing financial hardship (not the ato definition) and I have been sent an email advising I need to pay my overdue tax debt. I have just lost my job, not currently receiving any government payments, neck deep in debt and unable to afford basic necessities. Is there anyway to pay my tax debt with my superannuation or release it early?


TIA

Not without exploring the financial hardship provisions.

Is there anything preventing you from seeking new employment ?
