Hi @Josimp,


Your payment made using the incorrect customer reference number (CRN) will still be credited to your ATO account once we receive and process it. The CRN is now called a payment reference number (PRN), and using an old one can cause delays in allocating the payment, but the funds won't be lost.


Give the payment a few business days to process and then call our lodge and pay line to find out about getting the payment refunded.

Thanks for the information. It’s hard for me to call as I’m travelling overseas for several months. Is there no online form to request a refund?
