Payment options for transfer duty
After your transfer duty liability is assessed, you can pay transfer duty via:
- credit card
- telephone or internet banking
- electronic funds transfer
- cheque or money order.
See below for more detail on these payment methods.
Registered self assessors can also set up direct payments through our online lodgement system, QRO Online.
Make sure you use the correct biller codes and reference numbers when paying, or your payment may not be processed correctly and unpaid tax interest or penalties may apply.
The payment reference code (known as transaction number) appears on your assessment notice, lodgement confirmation statement or debt recovery letter.
Credit card
You can pay online using BPOINT or call 1300 803 545 and follow the prompts. Credit card payments must be more than $10 and less than $50,000.
A surcharge applies to credit card payments:
- 0.518% for Visa and Mastercard
- 1.4% for Amex.
Read the BPOINT terms and conditions.
Make sure you select the correct tax type from the biller code drop-down list, and enter the correct payment reference code in the reference number field.
If you have paid by credit card and a refund is due, we will refund the assessment amount to the credit card. The surcharge amount is non-refundable.
Phone or internet banking
Contact your bank or financial institution to make payments from your cheque or savings account by BPAY. See the BPAY website for more information.
