I've read all the documentation I found on TRA fee payment, and they say there are only 2 ways for doing this:
1. overseas bank cheque
2. international money order

For the 1st, my bank doesn't use to make payments in AUD, but only in USD. So, is there a problem if I pay in USD (although TRA say they accept AUD only)?

I asked my bank and they told me for using the International Money Order, I must provide them the following details:
- the amount of money
- money collector
- money collector's address
- money collector's bank
- money collector's account
- code of money collector's bank
- address of money collector's bank

Is there anyone who can guide me ? I couldn't find these details by reading the documentation TRA provided.

On April 14th, 2004, TRA has changed the .pdf file regarding application guidelines. Befor this date, there was another way of paying: Electronic Funds Transfer, but as a consequence it has been ommited is the new version of TRA PASA Application Pack, I thought it was obsolete, so I didn't thing about using it. Tell me if I'm wrong.

So, can anyone give me all these details, or advise me how to make the payment in a different (and secure) way?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, We put our TRA forms in at the end of Sept,our agent told us to go to Thomas Cook and get a money order we just told them who it was payable too and how much it was to be for.There was a small charge for doing it but it was ready for the next day.

Hi,

I got a form from the bank and filled in all the details of who to make payable etc. and within a few days they gave me a banker's draft for $500. I think the bank charged about £24 to my bank acccount for the privilege !

Hope this helps

All the information we needed for the Account Number & Details of the Bank Acct that the money need to go to was on the notes of the TRA Application Form.
