How to Make Payments


IMPORTANT! TRO bank details have changed!

The Northern Territory Government has recently changed its provider of banking services to the National Australia Bank (NAB). As a result of this change, from 1 February 2012 all payments made by electronic funds transfer (EFT) to TRO will need to be directed to our new account as follows:

Bank National Australia Bank
BSB 085-933
Account No. 187 960 174
Account title NTT Territory Revenue Office

Please ensure that you continue to insert your EFT payment code in the reference field when transmitting your payment to TRO.

Direct Debit Registration

Clients who use the Northern Territory Government direct debit facility for payroll tax payments are required to re-register in the new direct debit facility, NAB Transact.

Register now for NAB Transact or click here for step-by-step instructions on how to register.

BPAY

Clients who remit funds by BPAY will not be affected by the change. The biller code and customer reference numbers remain the same.

 

The following payment options are available when making a payment to the Territory Revenue Office (TRO):

PAYROLL TAX ONLY

- Direct Debit
 

TRMeR provides the option for employers to make direct debit payments from your nominated bank account(s) either at the time of lodging your return or after lodgement.

The payment is made using the Northern Territory Government online banking facility and is the most efficient way to ensure that your entity's payroll tax obligations are met. The system eliminates common problems experienced through other payment methods and allows your entity to control how much and when payroll tax is paid to TRO.

The online electronic payment system will debit amounts from your nominated account(s):

- only when you authorise the payment; and
- only for the amount that you specify for a particular payroll tax liability.

Register now for NAB Transact or click here for step-by-step instructions on how to register.

BPAY
 

To register for BPAY please contact TRO in writing. You will be forwarded confirmation of your Customer Reference Number along with TRO's biller code within 14 days of receiving your request.

ALL PAYMENTS (including payroll tax)

- Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
 

Payment by EFT can be made using the details below:

Bank National Australia Bank
BSB 085-933
Account No. 187 960 174
Account title NTT Territory Revenue Office

When remitting payment via EFT please ensure that you include your EFT payment code in the reference field. Failure to include the correct EFT payment code will result in delays in processing your payment and may lead to payments being rejected.

For employers using TRMeR to calculate and lodge payroll tax returns, the EFT payment code will appear on the 'Return Lodged' screen in each time a return is submitted.

For all other payments relating to returns based taxes your EFT payment code consists of:

-

your registration number;

- your tax code (INS for general insurance and LFE for life insurance); and
- your four digit number representing the month and year of the return period (eg: 1011 for October 2011).

For example, the EFT payment code for general insurer number 1234 for October 2011 would be 1234INS1011.

For payments relating to stamp duty lodgements, or instalment arrangements, please contact TRO for assistance in identifying your EFT payment code prior to remitting your payment.
