ATO Payment Plan
Self Serve or Let Us Help
A payment plan allows you to break down your payment into smaller amounts that are made via instalments and are spread over a fixed period of time. Within a payment plan, you pay back an agreed sum of money weekly, fortnightly or monthly until the balance is cleared.
Important Inforation before entering a payment plan
Any tax credits and refunds you receive will be used to reduce your tax debt. This is called offsetting. It does not replace the required instalment payment.
General interest charge (GIC) will accrue until the debt is paid.
You can make additional voluntary payments or pay off the debt at any time.
You still need to lodge your activity statements and tax returns and pay any associated liabilities on time.
You can use the ATO's online payment plan estimator to calculate a payment plan you can afford. This tool also helps you work out how quickly you can pay off a tax debt and how much interest you’ll be charged. The longer you take to pay off your debt, the more interest you'll need to pay.
