Ross Parsons Centre Law and Business seminar | Insolvency and Tax Debts: the special position of the ATO

Online event

The Australian Taxation Office is a creditor in almost three out of every four company insolvencies. Legislation in 1993 removed the last of what were seen as rights that elevated the ATO to the status of priority creditor. Yet it continues to enjoy rights that other creditors do not have.

In this Webinar, Adjunct Associate Professor Lindsay Powers will explain these rights and how they impact the corporate insolvency process. He will be joined by experienced insolvency lawyer and MinterEllison partner Michael Hughes who will discuss the findings and recommendations of the recent Parliamentary Joint Committee Report on Corporate Insolvency in Australia in relation to the ATO as a creditor.

Speakers

• Lindsay Powers (Senior Legal Consultant MinterEllison and Adjunct Associate Professor Sydney Law School)
• Michael Hughes (Partner, MinterEllison)

Chair: Dr Jason Harris (Professor of Corporate Law, Sydney Law School)
