Select if you can or cannot pay the minimum amount

You'll be able to see the total amount owing and a list of the due amounts for each tax type.

Select whether you can or cannot pay the weekly amount shown under 'Minimum payment amount'. You'll be able to pay fortnightly or monthly if you choose, but make sure those amounts work out to match this figure on a weekly basis.
