Electronic funds transfer codes - Tax Agent Portal

You can obtain an electronic funds transfer (EFT) code from the Tax Agent Portal by following a few simple steps.

The EFT code is supplied by us to enable payments to be made by BPAY®, direct credit or direct debit.

If you require an EFT code for your client to pay an account by BPAY, direct credit or direct debit, the portal will automatically calculate the EFT code. The EFT code is used to ensure that the payment is posted to the correct client account and for the correct payment type. This code may vary from account to account.

From the home page of the portal:

• enter your client's tax file number (TFN) or Australian business number (ABN)

• at the Payment options account selection screen, select the relevant account
• select the Go button
• the EFT code will be displayed under the wording Electronic funds transfer (EFT) code
