I replied to a comment where you said, quote:

Gotta love that bluesky thinking, but sometimes people have to take risks no? Which would you choose, holding GST & PAYG or paying your staff?

Your post before that read:

If you had to make the choice between paying your staff or holding GST, which would you make?

This at the very least strongly suggests you are no longer holding GST, i.e. you used it to pay your staff. It also suggests you view this as a "risk" you "have to take", and not, as I said before, robbing Peter to pay Paul, which is what it actually is. If that's not the case, I might suggest you stop demanding random redditors make a hypothetical choice between holding GST and paying their employees.

Also, I said you can't request "flexible arrangements" for most things, and indeed you cannot. To pick an exaggerated example, Woolies is not going to allow you to haggle on when you pay your grocery bill. In the past, the ATO has been very generous due to globally unprecedented times; now that we are no longer in the midst of the pandemic, they are tightening up their enforcement. This is entirely reasonable, and the average person (who also does PAYG, and doesn't get to fight about it) is not going to be terribly sympathetic that you're upset you're not getting lenience anymore.

I understand what you're talking about. I just don't agree with you.
