Best Credit Card for Tax/IRAS Payment

[laurent_rio]

Pay tax via cardup on 25th evening and checked today the payment is already in IRAS account.

Isnt HSBC the best as it charges 0.7% only

SCB VI charges 1.6% processing fee and gives 1.4 miles per dollar (provided you spend $2000 that month)

IIRC, OCBC charges a higher fee and you only get 1 mile

For Premier it is 0.5%.

Guys, just to clarify, pay by credit card via AXS or even cardup, although may have some cc benefits, u have to pay lump sum and forgo the monthly installment right?

No. Can pay installment amount before 25th of the previous month of supposed GIRO deduction, installment still continue without the GIRO deduction

Ic.. So I can pay via cardup monthly installment amt and leave the giro arrangement there as backup in case the credit card payment did not go thru?

Hello guys, I just received my iras statement. My tax amount is 4.8k. I don't have any of the high networth guys cards like visa infinite etc. Just plain simple cards. I don't have HSBC. I have cimb, anz, citi and ocbc cards. Should I just sign up for giro?

If I do giro can still pay monthly using cimb mastercard instead of it going from my account?

CIMB platinum MasterCard I am not sure if it gives points for M- axs payment, but it is very useful for fulfilling min spend of $500 and 8X$30 transactions. I am considering whether I could sign up for giro and then every month use the cimb platinum MasterCard for the minimum spend?

Yes, no need to touch the existing GIRO. Should leave it there permanently. Without the GIRO, you won't have this 12 months installment plan.

Dun count to $500 or 8x $30

It does. I have personally paid sp services multiple times $30 using MasterCard m-AXS to fulfill the 8X$30 spend and I have received the 10% rebate.

Are you saying SP services can but IRAS cannot? I thought it should be transparent to CIMB as it just shows up as AXS pte ltd for them.

Be tactical

It is impossible to influence everyone's behaviour. Best to enjoy while it lasts

Now - means today? My person experience is that it take 2 business days for AXS payments to get posted at IRAS.
