    Paying your notice

    Pay in full

    If you choose to pay in full, please ensure you do so by the due date shown on your notice.

    Pay in instalments

    If you request to pay by instalments, your first instalment may include any unpaid emergency services levy for previous financial years.

    These will be reflected in the arrears/payments column on your notice.

    Changes to your payment schedule

    The following options are available to support you in meeting your emergency services levy obligations.

  • You can apply online to request 4 consecutive monthly instalments. You must apply before the due date on the original Notice of Emergency Services Levy Assessment.

    If the instalment option is chosen, failure to meet any instalment payment will result in the unpaid remainder of the full annual amount becoming immediately due and payable. Penalty levy and interest may also be applied.

    If you are unable to apply online, please contact RevenueSA prior to the due date on the original Notice of Emergency Services Levy Assessment:

    Mail:

    Commissioner of State Taxation
    Kaurna  Country

    Find out more about extensions and payment arrangements.

    Interest and penalty levy

    Interest may  be charged on unpaid levy amounts on a daily basis from the due date shown on the notice of assessment until the date the levy is paid.

    A penalty levy of 75% of the amount of unpaid levy can be charged where you have deliberately avoided paying the levy.

    A 25% penalty levy can be charged in other situations of late or non-payment.

    The Commissioner of State Taxation has the discretion to remit penalty on the outstanding emergency services levy amount if satisfied that the default was not deliberate or resulted from carelessness.
