ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

[KLN]

some of us read this since #1, and still can't remember. and well done Cove, mine was $51,313. still using the Altitute Black Amex, it's suits me still. the Warehouse is still pretty good from earlier good times

 

[cove]

Today I did a $90,000,$56,103,$28,000 times two and a $10,000 just to share it around.

If you find a way to Bpay ATO with your credit card please let us know

I normally use the ATO payment portal, but looking around in the ATO Online services (accessed through MyGov) I can see a BPAY option under Tax->payments.

Credit cards aren't available for BPay to ATO and unfortunately, very few card issuers now pay points for BPay. Did one the other night with Prestige for old times sake as a parting gift before they switch it off.

The people of Australia salute your public spirited gesture !!

Keeping our nation running for a micro second does seem to be a waste of time.
Almost time to head off to London. Thank goodness there are SQ Suites.

Sounds like a well deserved break for a very public spirited individual

I was going to share it round but thought stuff you ANZ, so smashed them on AMEX for $176k today. Another $60k tomorrow for Jan IAS should round it off before I cancel the card.

Last night I did get myself a new Visa card (subject to some paperwork) from an Australian bank. This one may prove to be a winner but it may take a couple of months to know if it is or not.
Let's think of this one as a work in progress.

Hi cove, did you try the doughnut (assuming I have guessed correctly)?

 

[cove]

No I already have a WOWcc which the silver donut run in place of HSBC. This was a BWcc and I need to contact them to get a statement.
The silver donut have a card with a 40,000 sign on but we are fine without another cc at the moment.

Hi Cove I had a look at the BWcc and its saying that there are no points for ATO payments.I may be looking at the wrong card it's the More cc plat.

Wayne you made me look up the BW Platinum card which started for me in December. I am getting 0.75 points on everything I have paid on this card. The points will post 3 months after enrolment. Thanks for making me look this up as my first statement went to our physical address and not our PO Box. It did not arrive so I am now on E Statements.
I am hoping to get to World card in 2016 for 1:1.

The black donut is interesting for some because it has uncapped Qantas points earning at $1:1 on Visa.

Cove. always happy to help, I did take a look at the world card is this direct with Diners or via one of the banks I looked at the Citi offer and it seems to include points for ATO if so I may exchange my Citi black card for the world card, I will call them tomorrow. Have you looked at the partners ? For transfer of points, I could not find out if Kriss was one of them.

But does this earn on ATO Payments? I thought I read further up that it didn't?

From what I can tell, it does. Nothing in the T&Cs, and the Jetstar card which is also Macquarie does too. I haven't personally tested either or seen recent clear confirmation from anyone though.

I was thinking the same thing as to whether it accrued ATO point and what in the hell is a black donut

 

[cove]

Bankwest World is 1:1 but by invitation so you start with BW Platinum.
Westpac Black Amex cut the ATO earn to 0.75 miles per dollar so the cost is 1.933 cents before any tax deduction.
I use Westpac Kris Flyer Platinum Amex which is no longer issued to new applicants.

 

[cove]

That would be Macquarie Bank (silver donut) issuing a Black card to create a black donut credit card.

I can confirm the platinum Jetstar card is a goer. Annual points cap of only 100,000.
