Pay by Instalments

If you will find it hard to pay by the due date, you can apply to MPES to pay by instalments.

How to apply

Phone MPES on 1300 366 776 (from within Tasmania) or 03 6233 3200. Usually you can arrange instalment payments over the telephone.

If you owe a large amount, you may have to submit a variation of payment conditions form and provide extra documents such as bank statements and tax returns.

Remember

• To avoid getting an enforcement order (and $60 fee)
  • Apply within 28 days of the notice issue date if you need more time to pay.
  • Pay the agreed instalments on time.
  
  
• If you do receive an enforcement order
  • you can still apply to pay by instalments, provided you haven’t had an application for variation of payment conditions rejected in the last twelve months. You may still be able to arrange more time to pay and avoid enforcement sanctions.
  • you only have 14 more days to pay the whole amount, including the enforcement order fee, before enforcement sanctions may be imposed. 

In some cases, you may be eligible for your penalty to be converted to a Monetary Penalties Community Service Order.
