From time to time I see comments by some that ATO payments can be made by CC / debit card and it will boost FF points.
The ATO now do accept card payments subject to a $50k limit per transaction. They do allow multiple transactions if you have the limit. However they do impose surcharges to recover their actual cost. Visa and MC are at least 0.42% and Amex is at least 1.42%. I say at least as any card issuer imposed fee above that percentage (eg currency conversion etc) is also added and also subject to GST.
Has anyone got first hand experience if the Easypay service by the Reserve Bank to make tax payments attracts FF points ??
I see a exempt fringe benefit here - Director pays business taxes on his/her card linked to Qantas FF for example. Oncharges the surcharge so he isnt out of pocket. Question is can she / he get points ?? ie Amex 2pts per $1 of taxes.
