Apply for a payment plan
You can apply to enter a payment plan for up to 12 months if you are having difficulty paying:
- an assessment, such as for land tax or duties
- a notice to repay the First Home Owner Grant.
By law, interest is imposed on all late and unpaid amounts at the market rate plus a premium rate of 8% per annum.
This continues to apply throughout any payment plan.
You can lodge your completed application for a payment plan at any stage; however, the payment plan will only be put in place once the due date has passed. To minimise the amount of interest, you should apply and pay as soon as possible.
Late payment interest waiver ended on 31 December 2021
The late payment interest waiver relating to the Victorian State of Emergency has ended.
As of 1 January 2022, any outstanding taxation debts that have not been paid or are not the subject of a payment arrangement incur late payment interest calculated from the date of the tax default.
