The Tax Office offers several different payment methods.
Payment by electronic means is the preferred method for the Tax Office to receive payments. Tax payments can be made electronically by BPAY®, direct credit or direct debit. They can also be posted to us or made at Australia Post outlets.
BPAY
Use your financial institution’s phone or internet banking service to transfer funds from your cheque or savings account. You need to quote the Tax Office biller code (75556) and use your EFT code as the customer reference number.
® Registered to BPAY Pty Ltd ABN 69 079 137 518
Direct credit
You can electronically transfer funds to the Tax Office’s direct credit bank account using online banking facilities. Use BSB 093 003, Account number 316 385 and record your EFT code in the Reference or Description field. This will ensure the payment is correctly recorded on your tax account.
Direct debit
You can have your tax liability electronically debited from a nominated financial institution account – but not a credit card account. To establish a direct debit you will need to complete and send a direct debit request (NAT 2284) form to us. Phone 1800 802 308 for a direct debit request form and/or details.
Mail payments
You can mail a cheque or money order to the address printed on the payment slip forwarded by us. If a payment slip is not available, you will need to provide your full name, address, phone number, type of tax being paid and your tax file number or ABN. Forward this information and your payment to the appropriate address as shown below.
