Payment options

The payment methods available depend on the return frequency (daily or weekly). The total tax (ie: duty and any interest) payable for a return period will be recorded on your return period summary. This amount must be received at OSR by the due date specified in your notice of approval.

The following table shows the options available:

Approved Frequency	Payment Options	Payment process	Things to note
Weekly	EFT* BPAY	Electronic	The information you need to transact with OSR is on the relevant periodic remittance slip
	Cheque	Cheques should be sent in the supplied prepaid envelopes. Cheques can also be sent to your local OSR office.	The relevant periodic remittance slip must be sent with your payment
	Cash	If cash is part of your remittance it must be lodged in person at an OSR office.	The relevant periodic remittance slip must be lodged with your payment
Daily	Cash or cheque	All daily payments must be lodged in person at an OSR office.	The relevant periodic remittance slip must be lodged with your payment

Do not send your return period summary to OSR with your payment.

If no tax is payable for a particular period, please do not send the remittance slip to OSR.

EDR approved clients are bound by the OSR cheque acceptance policy (Duties). If your client has given you an endorsed, personal or company cheque to pay their duty, please ensure you have read this policy prior to processing your matter on EDR.

If a cheque is dishonored, normal recovery procedures will be initiated. This may attract interest and penalties.

Note: Cheques made payable to OSR must not be banked by EDR approved clients.
