Covid Analysis

The tables and graphs below show that the Covid stimulus measures introduced have had a drastic effect on the number of insolvency and winding up procedures.

For the April – June 2020 period compared to April – June 2019, the data indicates a significant reduction in the number of reported events.

1. Winding up Applications are down by 62%.  The ATO filed only 2 winding up applications in April 2020 and did not file any winding up applications in May or June 2020.  This is consistent with our understanding that during this period the ATO is more focused on business support measures than recovery procedures;

2. Court Liquidations are down 54%;

3. Voluntary Administrations are down 29% but after adjusting the figures to record multiple companies in a group as a single appointment (e.g. Virgin Airlines and PAS Group) Voluntary Administrations are down 42%;

4. Voluntary Liquidations are down 27%.
