I am in credit on my integrated client account which is my tax refund. How do I pay my next quarterly installment minus the credit amount that is owed to me?

Hiya @Lindahannah73,
If you have a credit on your integrated client account (your tax refund), you have a few options for your next quarterly instalment payment.
You can view your integrated client account balance through ATO online services. When paying your quarterly instalment, simply subtract your credit amount from the total due and only pay the difference.
Alternatively, you can request a refund of your credit amount and then pay your quarterly instalment separately. This can be done through the "Request a transfer or refund" option in online services.
We automatically use any credits or refunds to pay off existing debts, so your credit may already be applied against your next quarterly instalment.
