Electronic payments When payments are made electronically, the date for payment is either the date stipulated in the electronic transaction or, if no date is stipulated, the date on which the payment is intended to be made into that bank account. Example
XYZ Company instructs their bank to pay their employees' salary by EFT on 30 June 2008. The company specifies that the payments should be credited to the employees' bank account on 1 July. As the payment is instructed to be made on 1 July, these payments must be included in the 2008-09 payment summary and withholding on the whole amount will be at the rates that apply for that year.
