Paying (liable) parents can set up a payment plan in myIR to sort out ongoing child support or any missed payments.
You can pay by direct debit or make the payments yourself. But if your employer takes your child support from your salary or wages, you cannot set up this type of payment plan.
Contact us to talk about making repayments through your employer, or pay the missed amount in full.
In myIR, go to the child support - liable parent account panel
Then select 'More...'
Go to Payments and refunds
Then select 'Set up a child support payment plan'.
Enter your details and submit
You can choose:
- one-off or recurring direct debits
- to make the payments yourself.
Log in to myIR
What happens next
If you’re paying by direct debit, your payments will come out automatically.
If you’re making the payments yourself, your plan shows you the dates payments are due.
Contact us if you want to update your payment plan.
