How to pay

We offer a range of convenient payment options.

Your payment needs to reach us on or before its due date. Payments may take up to 4 business days, from the date you make the payment, to appear on your ATO account.

If the trust tax return is lodged on time, any tax payable by the trustee is due on the later of either:

  • 21 days after the due date for lodgment of the tax return
  • 21 days after receipt of the notice of assessment.

If the trust tax return is lodged late or not at all, any tax payable by the trustee is due 21 days after the due date for lodgment.

The general interest charge (GIC) accrues on outstanding amounts from the due date for payment.

If you’re unable to pay on time, you may be able to set up a payment plan to pay by instalments.

What if your business has been affected by COVID-19?

If your business has been affected by COVID-19, additional relief options are available. They do not apply automatically, so you need to contact us to discuss them.
