We're moving away from cheques
From 1 March we'll no longer accept payments by cheque from our business customers.
The number of cheques we receive is declining every year, with most of our customers choosing to make their payments in other ways.
From 1 March, we'll stop accepting cheques from business customers. Our levy refunds will also stop being issued by cheque from this date.
If you currently pay your ACC levies by cheque, you’ll need to start using other forms of payment. We can help you to make the transition to faster and safer payment options.
Your levy payment options
Our online service MyACC for Business makes it easy for business customers to set up and manage their payments. Once registered, you’ll be able to pay your invoice by credit card, online payment or set up direct debit payments and monthly instalments.
Other payment options include:
- electronic payment via internet banking
- credit card, direct debit, or by monthly instalments
- cash or Eftpos, but only at Westpac branches. These payment options are not accepted at ACC branches.
How we'll issue levy refunds
If you're due a refund, we’ll send you a notice to let you know how much you’re owed. Any refund will be automatically paid into your nominated bank account.
You can securely provide us your bank details through MyACC for Business, and your refund will be processed and paid to your bank account.
Log in or register for MyACC for Business and add your bank account on the ‘Profile’ tab. If you have a tax agent or advisor, they can add a refunds-only bank account on your behalf.
