As part of the Commonwealth Government’s Cheques Transition Plan, RevenueSA is commencing a phased transition away from cheque payments in line with the Commonwealth Government’s Cheques Transition Plan.

What’s Changing?

RevenueSA is taking proactive steps to phase out cheque payments in line with the Commonwealth Government’s Cheques Transition Plan. With a mandated deadline of 30 June 2028 for issuing cheques and 30 September 2029 for accepting them, RevenueSA is committed to leading the transition ahead of schedule and will no longer accept payment by cheque after 30 June 2027.

You will see changes reflected in correspondence you receive from us, including:

• That cheques will no longer be accepted after 30 June 2027.
• Alternative payment options available, including BPAY, EFT, Direct Debit, and Credit Card.

Why the Change?

The shift away from cheques reflects a broader national movement toward secure, efficient, and modern payment systems. Cheques are increasingly costly to process, prone to delays, and less secure than digital alternatives. RevenueSA’s phased approach ensures stakeholders have time to adapt while maintaining service continuity.

RevenueSA already offers a range of secure alternatives designed to meet the needs to individuals and businesses.

• BPAY (all tax lines)
• Direct Debit (Payroll Tax & Certificates)
• EFT (Payroll Tax and others upon arrangement)
• Credit Card (Land Tax and ESL)
