The query is whether the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Pay As You Go Withholding (PAYGW) debts of a company can be set-off against the carry-forward tax losses it has accumulated from prior years.
The answer to this is negative. The two types of debt are not interchangeable even though they are both owed to the Australia Tax Office (ATO).
