I was automatically opted in to PAYG instalments by the ATO based on my 2023 tax return, which included an injection of FHSS release amounts. I received an original instalment for Oct–Dec 2024 of $1,856, calculated from that assessment.


In March I submitted a variation for the Jan–Mar 2025 quarter: I estimated my total tax for the year as $2,830 (based on no further FHSS release this year), used reason code 99 (significant change in income), and paid the varied amount of $266. After making that payment I exited the PAYG instalment system altogether.


Yet when I view my ATO homepage today, the original $1,856 instalment still appears as overdue, with no due date shown.


Questions

  1. Will my variation or exit automatically clear the earlier quarter’s instalment?
  2. Or do I need to contact the ATO directly to have the $1,856 reconciled?

Hi @byun


Your later PAYGI lodgment doesn't clear your previous instalment unless you claimed a 5B credit for it. The debt needs to be addressed to avoid penalties. Check if you can amend your last activity statement online and claim the credit for the previous instalment if eligible. The link has more info.
