ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

[http_x92]

What is the earn rate and annual fee please ??

Sounds like its 0.66 QFF with a $295 annual fee. Not cheap but I guess if you are going big with the business credit card then it will be worth it imo

Annual Fee - $295 per annum per card

Earns - 1 QF point per $1.50 (ie. 0.666 QF points/$1)

Current Bonus - 100,000 QF points when spending $4000 within 60 days of opening account

I'm after some quick advice. I sold some shares that I'd held for many years and I now have a $90k capital gains tax bill to pay as part of my income tax assessment. This is a personal income tax issue, not a business tax one. I've only just received the assessment but the due date for payment is listed as 8 June 2021. This is all very new to me so some assistance would be appreciated. How much attention do I need to pay to the due date having already passed? Is it worth paying this with a credit card in order to get points? I have a Macq Bank QFF visa card and a grandfathered AMEX platinum reserve credit card (which is my preferred CC for points with SQ). I also have a sniip account but have never used it.

Or should I just pay the amount via bpay from a bank account?

Sniip is 1.5% using Amex and earns full points for ATO, so if you value your points/miles gained more than the surcharge, then yes pay with the credit card via Sniip.

Could be worth looking at YAKPAY as well as they are giving bonus points for ATO payments. Just work out what works best for you : Points for cost etc

Domestic Visa Credit decreased from 0.93% to 0.8%.
Amex still 1.45%.

Yes, but the reduced fee method still worked for me about three week late ago.

Their 3 month intro rate is finishing for me soon as well. Interestingly, I expressed interest in a beta of "PayRewards". I have an appointment with them next week.

Not just premium - I could have sworn the free tier had a Mastercard fee of under 1%+GST before.

Intro rate?

 

[pangwen]

Intro rate?

Possibly, but they only started up in March and have been offering premium for 3 months free to new users, so there won't be too many people who have been on the free tier to experience the 'intro free tier rate'.

Got an app alert on my phone today that bluechain was up and running again

 

[edman]

Received mail from Bluchain saying it’s up and running again, and have a promo 1.8% plus GST rate for Amex till 31/8.

Just found an offer on my Amex platinum card for Sniip. Get 20% back capped at $30 total.

Thought I'd post it here in case anyone wants some extra bonuses on their ATO payments

Stack the statement credit with a referral offer (if you're a new customer) and get an extra $10 off your first bill payment.

So that's up to $40 in total off your first bill payment. The math with both offers combined works out to be get $40 off $150 in bills paid by Sniip. So that's a savings of 26.66%

$30 off our bill is not worth the effort. Thanks anyway
