Why are there different PRNs (only the last 4 digits differ, the rest are identical) between the BPAY Payment Reference Number quoted on the NOA and when the payment details are viewed through the ATO portal? Can either be used, and is there a reason why there are two different PRNs?

Hiya @dexmeister
You can use either. They both go to the same place. A unique one is generated for your NOA and the one showing on the portal is just a general PRN for that account.
