Turning Tax Debt Into a Win: How Refinancing Helped This Self-Employed Couple Save $633,000

Turning Tax Debt Into a Win: How Refinancing Helped This Self-Employed Couple Save $633,000

Running your own business is empowering but it can also come with a few financial curveballs, especially when it comes to juggling ATO debt.

Recently, we helped a self-employed couple on the Central Coast who were feeling overwhelmed by their tax bill and mortgage repayments. The pressure was building, and they weren’t sure where to turn.

With some strategic thinking (and a lot of coffee-fuelled conversations), we found a solution that gave them the financial breathing room they desperately needed.

By refinancing their home loan, we were able to:

  • Restructure their mortgage to better suit their income flow
  • Pay out their ATO debt
  • Redirect their new savings towards reducing the overall loan

The result? They’re now on track to save over $633,000 in interest and will shave 14 years off their home loan. Yes, 14 years!

Having the right loan structure can completely transform your financial situation. It’s not just about ticking boxes with a bank. It’s about understanding your goals, your business, and helping you build the future you deserve.

If you're self-employed and juggling tax debt or inconsistent income, please know this: there are solutions out there.
