How it works

Earn full points*… but how?

Sniip processes your payments as a two-legged transaction, so your card sees a normal purchase, not a government payment.

1You pay into the Sniip Trust Account
2The Sniip Trust Account pays the ATO on your behalf
Leg 1

Payment into trust

All transactions are paid to the secure Sniip Trust Account.
Sniip makes same-day payment to the ATO on your behalf.
It appears as “Sniip Ltd” on your card statement.
Leg 2

Earn full points*

Full points* are earned on the first leg, your payment into the Sniip Trust Account.
BPAY is used for the second leg, settling your bill with the ATO.
No “no-points” government surcharge eats into your rewards.
Pricing

ATO payments with a credit card through Sniip

Business ATO payments with an Amex

Earn your full Amex points* on every business tax payment: BAS, PAYG, company tax and more. Tiered rates reward larger payments.

Personal ATO payments with an Amex

The same full-points* benefit applies to personal income tax. Business processing rates apply, so your personal bill earns at the same competitive tiers.
