How to Earn Rewards While Making ATO Payments

Do you dread making those tax payments? You’re not alone! According to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), the company tax rate ranges from 27.5% to 30%, making tax bills one of the largest expenses for Australian businesses. As a business owner, if you’re obligated to make substantial payments to the ATO, wouldn’t it be great if you were to earn credit card or Qantas points along the way? Traditionally, making tax payments have been limited to cash, cheque and credit card. B2Bpay provides the opportunity for business owners to make their substantial ATO payments with ease and to also generate credit card and Qantas points. Below we will examine what the current options are for making ATO payments, and the solutions and benefits that B2Bpay provides. What are the payment options for tax bills? There are several options in making payments to the ATO. Before making payment, it is important to do some research to see which option works best for your business.  Here is some useful information to help make the decision easier:

1. Make the ATO payment by bank transfer or BPAY directory with the ATO

While there is no additional costs involved, there are no credit card or Qantas Points earned.

2. Make the ATO payment with a credit card directly with the ATO

A credit processing fee is charged by the ATO and depending on which credit card you are using, you will earn either reduced points or no credit card or Qantas Points at all.

3. Make the ATO payment with a credit card through B2Bpay

B2Bpay allows you to earn full points on ATO transactions. There is a credit processing fee when using B2Bpay. Charges range from 1.2% to 2.4% excluding GST (or 0.84% to 1.64% after eligible company tax deduction) depending on your card type. Comparing against the benefits of earning full credit card and Qantas points easily outweigh the credit processing fee.
