My business partner has been doing the wrong thing by the ATO. He is not declaring the correct information to the ATO and as a result is not paying the correct tax. I have sought multiple advice from different accountants and they have all said to me that our business is not compliant by the ATO. I have explained and forwarded all those emails to my business partner but he insist that their advice are incorrect. All accountants have advised me to reach out to the ATO and get an exemption directly from them as a best way forward. The business partner is refusing to do that. I told him that I would like to contact the ATO (for my side of the business) but he blocked me saying “its a breach of contract” and breach of “privacy”.
My question is: if I contact the ATO then would he be able to sue me? All I am trying to do is be compliant with the ATO, so would the Law protect my business partner and “punish” me for trying to be compliant with the law and “ATO in particular”?
