| Earn Points for Tax Payments with B2Bpay or RewardPay |
Earning frequent flyer points for tax payments to the ATO has become increasingly more difficult over recent years. Most credit cards no longer award points for ATO payments. And of those credit cards that still do, many have a reduced earning rate for government charges.
If you own a business and have a large tax bill, the good news is that there are other ways to earn extra frequent flyer points when paying the ATO. A surcharge does apply to these payments, but this could be offset by the valuable points being earned. In some circumstances this credit card surcharge may also be tax-deductible.
