Quarterly instalments
If you prefer to pay quarterly instalments, you will need to work out your PAYG instalments based on your instalment rate multiplied by your instalment income (business and investment income).
To do this, you pay a proportion of your business and investment income for the quarter. You work out the amount to pay using your instalment rate, which is shown on your activity statement. If you pay quarterly and your circumstances change you can vary your instalment rate.
To work out your quarterly instalments use:
If you are eligible to pay two instalments and you choose to pay the amount worked out for you by us, you cannot choose to pay quarterly instalments.
If you want to pay quarterly instalments instead of two quarterly payments, you must notify us of this change by the date your first instalment would be due. If you don't advise us by the due date, you will continue to pay two instalments per year.
The due date for the first quarter is on or before 28 October.
If you choose to pay quarterly using the instalment rate multiplied by your instalment income (that is, your business and investment income), you must continue to do this unless your circumstances change or you advise us that you no longer want to pay quarterly.
