Paying via PTX Express
One-off direct debit – pay online
This is a quick and easy way to complete your monthly returns that:
- gives you full control of exactly when you want payments to occur
- enables you to set up dual authorisation, so that if you are working with a payroll tax service provider (e.g. an accountant or other professional service), you can manage approval of your payments together
- provides a complete record of payment transactions on PTX Express.
You can have your payroll tax liability deducted from your cheque or savings account by selecting the ‘Pay online’ button on the ‘Payment’ screen of PTX Express and following the prompts.
You need to provide your:
- account name
- BSB
- account number.
This is not a recurring direct debit. You will need to authorise future payments.
