Yep :) it's a thing in South Africa, been able to it for more than a decade. Before that I could just go to any post office and pay the fine there.

Not taxes though. My tax is automatically deducted from my salary and paid by my employer every month. All employers do this.

They do in NZ as well, but there are times when you need to pay additional taxes for some reason. E.g.earn extra income that isn't through an employer you need to declare and pay taxes on.

I guess it's for those cases you use the Pay Taxes option in my banks app. I've used it a few times and it's really useful
