Checklist

For trouble-free payments, remember:

• If you are posting us your payment or paying at Westpac bank please use the preprinted payment slip if provided. Check that all the details are correct.
• If you do not have a payment slip, you can get a statement from INFOexpress, or send all the details in a letter with your cheque.
• Do not send us cash. You can make cash payments at a Westpac bank.
• If you are sending us a postdated cheque, please highlight the date. Do not postdate GST cheque payments beyond the last working day of the month.
• If you are paying electronically, please note this on your return so we know the cheque is not missing.
• If you are paying electronically, include all the details you need outlined in the electronic payments section. If you are paying more than one tax type, you must make separate payments unless the payment is for either:
• employer deductions (tax type code DED) that include a combination of PAY, CSE, SLE or SSC tax types; or,
• a combination of GST and provisional tax (tax type code GAP).
• If you are making an online payment through the internet on the last day for payment you need to do so before your bank's cut-off time.
• We will accept foreign cheque payments in the currencies listed in the overseas payment section of making payments site.
• Personal foreign cheque payments must be in the same currency that the cheque is drawn in.
