When you lodge a short stay levy return via the online portal, you can pay by credit card or one-off direct debit.
If you have received a short stay levy assessment, you can pay by BPAY.

Paying via the online portal
Once you have submitted your return, you can pay the levy by credit card or direct debit.
Credit card
To pay by credit card, you need a current Visa or Mastercard.
A card payment fee of 0.45% applies to all credit card transactions.
Direct debit from your bank account
To pay by direct debit, you must provide your:
- account name
- BSB
- account number.
Direct debit payments are one-off. You need to re-authorise payment of the levy each quarter/year, depending on your lodgement frequency.

Paying an assessment notice
If you receive an assessment notice, you can pay by BPAY.
BPAY
You can pay directly from your cheque or savings account using your financial institution’s internet or telephone service.
To pay an assessment notice by BPAY you need the biller code and reference number, which appear at the bottom left of your assessment notice.
Please note that BPAY payments may take up to 3 days to be cleared.
For more information about using BPAY, contact your financial institution.
Credit card
You will be able to pay by credit card later in 2025. We will update this page with further details when this payment option is available.
