Welcome Sue!
With pay as you go (PAYG) instalments, you make regular tax payments throughout the year. This helps you avoid a large tax bill when you lodge your tax return.
You can vary your PAYG instalments if you think you will pay too much compared with your estimated tax for the year.
The ATO recognises that many businesses continue to be affected by COVID-19. They will not apply penalties or interest for any excessive variations for the 2021-22 income year.
This applies when you have taken reasonable care to estimate your end of year tax. When considering if a genuine attempt has been made, the ATO will take into account what a reasonable person would have done in your circumstances.
Variations do not carry over into the new income year. If you made variations in the 2020–21 income year, you may need to vary again in 2021–22.
You can vary your instalments multiple times throughout the year. Your varied amount or rate will apply for all your remaining instalments for the income year, or until you make another variation.
If you realise you have made a mistake working out your PAYG instalment, you can correct it by lodging a revised activity statement or varying a subsequent instalment.

When it comes to identity crime, do you know what to look out for? Identity documents are like gold to tax scammers. They can use things like your driver’s licence, passport and tax file number to:
steal your tax refunds and super
commit refund fraud in your name
take over your business and submit amendments to your BAS
Stay one step ahead by treating all requests for information with caution. You should also review your business’s security practices. Make sure you:
have lockable storage units and an appropriate alarm system in place
change all passwords on a regular basis
install up-to-date security and anti-virus software on all devices
secure business files and employee information when not in use
log out of systems and lock computers when not in use.
