Shifting Liability: Developers, PDAs, Insolvencies and The ATO

Understand how shifting ATO scrutiny is reshaping developer risk.
Heightened scrutiny from the Australian Taxation Office is placing property development agreements (PDAs) and deal structures under increased pressure.
As enforcement activity intensifies, developers, landowners and capital partners are being forced to reassess how risk is allocated—particularly in the context of insolvencies and evolving tax interpretations.
In this member-only webinar, The Urban Developer will unpack the implications of the ATO’s crackdown on PDAs and what it means for structuring, compliance and long-term project viability.
The session will focus on managing exposure, navigating ATO engagement and understanding where liability is shifting across development agreements.
The discussion will explore practical considerations for mitigating risk, responding to increased oversight and maintaining alignment between stakeholders in a more complex regulatory environment.
