How do I make a payment schedule under SOPA in the ACT?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Create a payment schedule by outlining the claimed amount, specifying the due date, and detailing any reasons for withholding payment. Submit this within the timeframe set by the contract and the SOPA regulations in the ACT.
Key points
- Outline claimed amount and due date.
- Detail reasons for withholding payment.
- Submit within contract and SOPA deadlines.
Under SOPA in the ACT, you must respond to a payment claim with a schedule within 10 business days. This should include how much you'll pay and why, especially if you're not paying the whole amount. If you don't respond in time, you might lose the right to dispute the claim.
