EFT payments will therefore not be receipted during this time. Please ensure that you obtain a receipt after making your internet payment to be produced as “proof of payment” when requested by Australian Border Force officers. All other electronic payments will automatically generate a Payment Notification Receipt and/or Payment Receipt (AMSA Form 186).
Should you have any queries, please email levyqueries@amsa.gov.au or call 02 6279 5833 noting that there will be reduced capacity to respond to any queries during this period.
