After making regular payments for my tax bill I've received a letter to say I need to pay in full or will go to the debt collector! I have tried calling quite literally every day for the past week to set up a payment plan. I am still overseas and am incurring high phone bills trying to get in touch as I am on hold for hours and hours at a time until it's outside of your trading hours and the call automatically ends. We are getting very frustrated to say the least. I want to speak to someone! Please provide an email address or have someone call me directly.

Hi @melcar,
The quickest and easiest way for you to set up a payment arrangement is via your myGov account. If this isn't possible you'll either need to talk to us or a registered tax agent.

Can't set up online as it says to contact ATO. Only numbers I am able to call from overseas are +61 2 [Removed by moderator] and +61 2 [Removed by moderator]
