Program and Rules
a) Electronic funds transfer replaces the physical movement and
handling of paper checks with electronic instructions to financial institutions
to transfer funds between accounts of those making and receiving payments.

of electronic funds transfer is intended to:
1) make
the payment of taxes easier for taxpayers;
2) enhance State revenues through acceleration of the collection
mechanism for taxes; and
3) improve enforcement and compliance through the elimination of
the delays and uncertainties which result from mailing and manually processing
paper returns and tax payments.
c) Taxpayers who are required to make tax payments to the
Department and have reached the established thresholds for making those
payments through the use of electronic funds transfer are required to make
those payments to the Department through the use of electronic funds transfer.
(See Section 750.300 of this Part.)
d) Taxpayers, if accepted into the program by the Department, may
voluntarily make tax payments to the Department through the use of electronic
funds transfer for tax, fees, and other payments listed in Section 750.300 of
