- If you want to apply for the AutoPay service, you need to apply at the relevant bank before the contribution month. If you apply for the service only in the contribution month, the effective date of the AutoPay service will begin in the contribution quarter that immediately follows.
- Besides the AutoPay service that automatically deducts contributions from the relevant bank on the last working day of the contribution month (January, April, July, October), those who pay contributions by online banking or BOC EXPRESS should pay attention to the cut-off time of the related service of each bank in order to avoid paying the contributions late.
- Late payment of contributions
If the contributions are not paid within the statutory period, the default contributions cannot be rectified except in the following circumstances:- A late payment interest must be paid with the contributions within two months after the expiration of the statutory period. The interest is calculated at a monthly interest rate of 3% on the total amount of contributions overdue, where a fraction of a month shall be counted as a full month. If the interest calculated is less than 50 patacas, it will also be levied at 50 patacas (must be paid at a service point of the Social Security Fund);
- The reason for failing to pay contributions belongs to a force majeure situation accepted by the Administrative Committee of the Social Security Fund.
