  19 WTD 70 99-083E   EFT PAYMENT – LATE PAYMENT PENALTY. For taxpayers required to pay their taxes by EFT, a timely filed return and timely payment by EFT are required in order to avoid late payment penalties.An EFT is timely when the state receives collectible funds on or before 3:00 p.m. of the EFT payment due date.Where a taxpayer calls in its EFT payment seven minutes late, the payment is not timely.As an administrative agency, the Department is given no discretionary authority to waive or cancel penalties. The mere fact of nonpayment within a specified period of payment requires the penalty provisions of RCW 82.32.090 to be applied.  
  20 WTD 149 99-279   ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT) —DUE DATES.An electronic funds transfer (EFT), when the taxpayer uses the automated clearing house (ACH) credit method, is to be completed by the taxpayer so that the state receives collectible funds on or before the next banking day following the tax return due date.Generally, tax return due dates for monthly filers are the 25th of every month.If the 25th falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the tax return due date is the next banking day.On such occassions, the EFT payment due date is on or before the banking day following the tax return due date.  
  20 WTD 149 99-279   ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT) – DUE DATE—PENALTY.In order to avoid late payment penalties, a return must be received by the Department on or before the due date, or with a postmark on or before the due date, and the EFT payment must be completed, in its entirety, by the next banking day after the return’s due date.If both events occur, there is timely filing and payment and no penalties apply.  
  20 WTD 149 99-279   ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFER (EFT) – LATE PAYMENT PENALTY.There are no special provisions for penalties when payment is made by EFT.The general provisions for all taxpayers apply.Penalties may be waived only when the circumstances causing delinquency are beyond the control of the taxpayer.  
  21 WTD 42 01-131   LATE-PAYMENT PENALTIES – INTEREST – WAIVER OF – EFT FILER – PAYMENT BY MAIL – TIMELINESS OF.Where a taxpayer is required to file its tax returns by electronic funds transfer (EFT), its payment must be credited to the Department’s bank account on the next banking day following the due date of the return.Where such a filer mails its payment instead of paying by EFT, the fact that the envelope bears a postmark date on or before the due date does not make the payment timely.  
  21 WTD 128 01-103   EFT PAYMENT – NOTIFICATION THAT REQUIRED TO PAY BY EFT.Inability of the Department to prove it notified a taxpayer that the taxpayer was required to pay by electronic funds transfer (EFT) at least three months prior to the start of the EFT payment requirement, does not excuse the taxpayer from the EFT payment deadline if the taxpayer received actual notice of the EFT requirement reasonably prior to the EFT payment due date.A taxpayer who has been notified that it is EFT-mandatory, who pays by mail instead of by EFT, will be assessed a late penalty if the payment is not in the Department’s bank by the EFT payment due date.  
  21 WTD 128 01-103   EFT PAYMENT -- NOTIFICATION TO TAXPAYER.Generally, Department notification of a taxpayer need only be addressed to the address of the taxpayer as shown by the records of the Department.Notification that a taxpayer is required to pay by electronic funds transfer (EFT) is not an exception to that general principle.
