Note: The direction does not create a separate liability to pay the amount. However, it may result in you committing an offence against subsection 265-95(1) if the amount is not paid.

 2

In deciding whether to give a direction under subsection (1), the Commissioner must have regard to the following matters:

 a

your history of compliance with obligations to pay superannuation guarantee charge, and obligations to pay estimates under Division 268 of superannuation guarantee charge;

 b

your history of compliance with other obligations under *taxation laws;

 c

whether the amount mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) or (b) is substantial, having regard to the size and nature of your business;

 e

any other matter that the Commissioner considers relevant.
