Tones and I Faces $400K Tax Bill After Split

Tones and I, real name Toni Watson, has been dealt another blow .

Reports have now emerged the Australian singer, 32, has been hit with a tax debt of more than $400,000 by the Australian Taxation Office, according to the Herald Sun.

Court documents reveal the ATO has launched legal action in Victoria's County Court to recover the outstanding amount from the Dance Monkey hitmaker.

As of April 20, Watson is said to owe $432,797.27 in unpaid taxes.

The deputy commissioner of taxation claimed in a writ filed this week that the debt relates to 'BAS provisions and administrative penalties'. 

'The defendant is liable to pay the amount of $432,797.27 to the Commonwealth of Australia,' the document said.

It also claimed Watson is 'liable to pay the general interest charge for each day at the end of which there was an RBA deficit debt'. 

BAS provisions can relate to GST, the PAYG withholding tax and fringe benefits tax.

The Mt Eliza address for her company Johnny Run Away Investments, which is the title of her debut album, has also been listed in the court documents.

Daily Mail has reached out to representatives of Watson for comment.  

It comes following reports the singer-songwriter has split from her husband Bedford after almost three years of marriage.

The notoriously private singer appeared to have quietly parted ways with her partner in a typically low‑key fashion.

The pop star tied the knot with the footballer in a secret ceremony in Indonesia in March 2023.

However, their third wedding anniversary passed in March without any kind of public acknowledgement.
