Due date for payments

Pay your tax in full or set up a payment plan by the due date on your assessment notice.

Revenue NSW sends annual assessment notices from January.

You have 60 days after the issue date to choose your preferred payment option.

Payment options

Revenue NSW has two options to suit your needs.

Pay in full and receive a discount

If you pay your land tax or surcharge land tax in full before the due date on your assessment notice you will receive a 0.5% discount (excluding past interest or penalties).

Interest-free payment plans

  • Pay in instalments over 3, 6, or 9 months.
  • Choose fortnightly or monthly payments.

You can pay in full at any time during an active interest-free payment plan.

Read more about interest-free payment plans, including who is eligible and how to set up a plan in Land Tax Online.

*Changes to payments made by cheque

This may impact your ability to pay using a cheque at Australia Post or a Service NSW Centre.

Please contact your bank or credit union for more information.

What happens if you do not pay on time

Missing the due date

If you have not paid in full or set up a payment plan by the due date on your assessment notice, your tax becomes overdue.

Payment plan rules

If you miss any scheduled payments in your interest-free payment plan:

  • we will cancel the plan, and
  • your remaining balance becomes overdue immediately.

What happens if your tax is overdue

Revenue charges two types of interest:

  • A premium interest rate.
  • A market rate interest (this rate changes every three months).
