TIMELINESS OF PAYMENT FILING AND TYPE OF PAYMENT ACCEPTED An ACH payment transmitted and accepted with a settlement no later than 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Standard Time (HST) on the due date will be considered timely paid.

To avoid late payments, it is recommended the BFP participants schedule transmission to allow for timely correction and retransmission in the case of a rejected transaction. It is your responsibility to find out your financial institution’s specific schedule and arrange for a payment to be made in a timely manner. HCTAT does not accept International ACH transactions. HCTAT payment option allows ACH Debit where the taxpayer authorizes HCTAT’s financial institution to debit the taxpayer’s bank account and credit HCTAT’s bank account for the purpose of making a tax payment. Using a paper check as a form of method is not allowed under the BFP. The only other method of payment is using the HCTAT’s direct biller system which accommodates individual online payments for each Hawaii Tax ID number. Page 7 of 7
