ATO Extends Credit Card Payments for Tax Debts to 30 June 2027

The ATO has extended its acceptance of credit card payments for tax debts until 30 June 2027, giving businesses and taxpayers more time to prepare for potential changes.

The extension follows concerns from the tax profession about the proposed removal of the payment option and the lack of consultation before the original decision was announced.

For some small businesses, paying tax by credit card has been a useful way to manage cash flow, particularly when balancing GST, PAYG and other tax obligations with day-to-day operating expenses.

Removing this option could make things more difficult for businesses that rely on the additional time a credit card provides to manage their payments.

The extension is welcome news for those businesses, but it is only a temporary arrangement. The ATO has not yet provided certainty about what will happen after 30 June 2027, with concerns remaining about the consultation process and the longer-term arrangements.

It is also worth remembering that paying tax by credit card is not always the most cost-effective option. Processing fees and interest charges can add up, particularly if the balance is not paid off in full. Businesses should consider these costs alongside their cash flow needs when deciding how to pay their tax liabilities.

What should businesses do?

With more time available, now is a good opportunity to review your cash flow and how you manage tax payments. Setting funds aside for upcoming liabilities and planning ahead can help avoid unnecessary pressure when payment deadlines arrive.

If you are concerned about meeting an upcoming tax payment, speak with your us today 4688 2500. There may be options available, but it is always better to address potential difficulties before a payment falls due.

For now, the extension provides some breathing room for businesses that use credit cards to pay their tax. However, with the longer-term position still to be determined, it makes sense to keep an eye on further announcements and ensure your business is prepared for any changes.

🎄 Could your business help bring a little more hope this Christmas? 🎁

We’re looking for local businesses and organisations to become donation points for our Gifts of Hope Christmas Appeal, helping our community make Christmas a little brighter for vulnerable children and young people.

There are two ways you can get involved:

🎄 Host a Gifts of Hope tree – community members can collect a gift tag, purchase a gift for the child or young person listed, and return it to your location for collection.

🎁 Become a gift drop-off point – provide a convenient location for community members who have selected a child or young person through our website to return their purchased gift.

By offering a small space in your workplace or business, you can make it easier for our whole community to get involved and help ensure every child feels remembered this Christmas. 💛

Interested in becoming a Gifts of Hope donation point? Get in touch with Jules by emailing [email protected]

💛 Little pyjamas making a big difference! 💛

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful community at Highfields Childcare Centre for supporting our Bags of Hope program with a pyjama drive and gold coin donations. 🧸✨

A fresh pair of pyjamas may seem like a simple thing, but for a child going through a difficult or uncertain time, having something new of their own can provide much-needed comfort and care.

Thank you to the children, families and team at Highfields Childcare Centre for getting behind Bags of Hope and helping us support vulnerable children and young people in our community. 💛

Card Surcharges are Changing

From 1 October 2026, businesses will no longer be able to add a surcharge to customers paying by Visa, Mastercard, eftpos or American Express. If you currently pass card processing fees on to your customers, this change could affect your pricing, profit margins and cash flow.

Now is the time to review your payment options, pricing and systems. If you use Xero, card surcharges on Xero invoices will automatically stop from 1 October.

Not sure what this means for your business? We can help you work through the numbers and decide what changes may be needed, contact us on 4688 2500.

Are You Really On Top of Your Numbers

Running a business is busy enough without discovering months down the track that invoices haven’t been sent, customers haven’t paid, or expenses have quietly crept up.

Taking a few minutes each week to check your numbers can make a big difference. Make sure everything has been invoiced, keep an eye on outstanding debts, review your expenses and know what’s happening with your cash flow.

You don’t have to keep track of it all on your own, that’s where we can help. We can help you understand your numbers, spot potential issues and keep your business moving in the right direction.

Know your numbers, stay on top of your invoicing and stay in control.

Contact Clear Vision Accountancy Group today on 4688 2500 if you need help knowing your numbers.
