Following discussions with the government and the provision of transitional funding, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will continue accepting credit card payments for tax obligations until 30 June 2027.
We will continue to consult with relevant stakeholders and stewardship groups to understand how best to support those experiencing financial hardship and identify alternative arrangements for businesses and individuals who are unable to pay via other methods.
Taxpayers who wish to continue using a credit card to meet their tax obligations after 30 June 2027 may continue to use third-party payment providers. The ATO encourages taxpayers considering these options to carefully consider relevant fees, charges and processing timeframes.
The ATO also encourages taxpayers to remain vigilant against scams and verify the credentials of any third-party providers before sharing information or making payments.
Taxpayers needing additional support are encouraged to contact the ATO or speak with their registered tax professional.
