ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

[Kimster]

Thing to keep in mind is most of the Visa/Master cards award no/reduced points for ATO transactions. The ones that do will most definitely limit the earn rate - not just for ATO but for all transactions.

Im interested in what happens to Nab's Qantas Business Signature Visa card (as I have it ) which currently earns 1 Qf point per $1.50 spent paying the ATO directly. I expect the points earn to reduce if and when the credit card surcharges are banned.

If surcharge is 0 and the earn rate for ATO is reduced so be it.. still free points

I've just paid a quarterly instalment to the ATO via Sniip to contribute to a sign-up bonus.

Unfortunately the payment didn't clear in time for my statement (a phone consultant told me my statement would be issued on the 29th (first month of having this particular card)), so I'm not sure if it counted towards the spend criteria for the sign-up bonus.

Taking into account the amount of the instalment, I've definitely spent the minimum required though, so if the points are awarded next month I'll know it's counted.

If not, I'll still have other things to spend on and another month to do so.

Just wait, the number of points earned will reduce dramatically IMHO.
How can it continue if the fees are not being received.
I think AMEX may not be affected but might be wrong

Aren’t there regular fees being received from the merchant as normal ?
