ATO Waives Credit Card Payment Surcharge Until Nov 30
From 1 Oct 2026, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has removed transaction surcharges for credit and debit card payments. This means you can pay your tax bill or outstanding debt via card without extra fees until 30 Nov 2026. After this date, the ATO will stop accepting card payments entirely, requiring alternative methods like BPAY or EFTPOS.
