DMBM201580 | Payment processing: Direct Debit (DD): Budget Payment Plan (BPP)

Some content of this manual is being considered for archiving. If there is content you use regularly, please email [email protected] to let us know as soon as possible.

A Budget Payment Plan (BPP) is an easier way for customers to pay their SA tax. Paying by BPP is voluntary and flexible and allows customers to make regular payments towards a future liability. A BPP customer can:

• decide the regular weekly or monthly amount they want us to collect

• choose to change their regular payment amount

• take a break and suspend payment for a period of up to 6 months

• cancel the BPP at anytime.

The advance payments reduce what a customer has to pay on 31 January and 31 July.

Further details can be found in the National Direct Debit User Guide.

If a customer currently owes us money you should advise them to contact the Payment helpline on 0300 200 3822. We will advise them how to bring their affairs up-to-date and how to start a BPP.
