IRD uses the processing date of rebates as the date the payment can be credited. For example, you are processing a tax rebate for 2013 year, so you send it to IRD in February 2014. They will use the date in February 2014 as the earliest date for transferring towards the 2013 income tax year. If you are a generous donor and your rebate is big, the lateness could cause you to pay Use of Money Interest or penalties, depending on your circumstances.
