Nelson ScottBusinesses have been offered a reprieve with the tax office delaying its ban on credit card payments.
The ATO was set to scrap credit card payments from the end of next month following the Reserve Bank's ban on surcharges.
The decision sparked fierce pushback from small businesses, many of which rely on credit cards to manage cash flow.
The ban is now on hold until July, after Labor agreed to absorb the tax office's surcharge fees.

Business groups have welcomed the delay but are pushing the ATO for a permanent fix.
