AUSTRALIAN VERSION:
Below are instructions on how to "pay" the latest Statement of Account. Since you can pay as easily as they can create the debt, this is the simplest thing to do.
Attached is a letter to enclose with your payment (ANYONE WHO HAS SUCH A LETTER PLEASE POST IT HERE!).
1) Edit the letter for your particular payment, add your details, and print it out and sign it.
2) Tape a one dollar ($1) coin to the bottom of it.
3) Take the Statement of Account (or Notice of Assessment) and detach the Payment Slip on the bottom third from the top portion. You only need concern yourself with pages which contain a Payment slip at the bottom. Additional pages attached behind can be disregarded.
4) On the top portion write the following:
- "Accepted for value"
- Sign it
- Date it
- Your Social Security Number (same as WINZ# or Superannuation#)
- If you do not have a Social Security Number, use the number "111 111 111"
5) Place a five (5) cent stamp on the top portion
6) Place another five (5) cent stamp on the front of the Payment Slip
7) Sign and date across each stamp. This cancels them (here you are playing Postmaster)
8) Cross the front of the Payment slip with double lines from top to bottom. In between those lines write "Not transferrable"
9) On the front of the Payment slip:
- Cross out the word "Slip" so it just says "Payment"
- Date it in the upper right-hand corner
- Sign it in the lower right-hand corner
- Write "Payable to: Inland Revenue" on the left-hand side
10) Put all three documents into the same envelope and post them to the address given on the Statement of Account (or Payment slip) for payments to be sent do.
11) DO NOT attach the papers to each other, and DO NOT do anything else that is not in the above instructions, no matter how good an idea it appears.
