Cash payment restriction on deductions: disallows deduction where daily payments to a person exceed the permitted cash threshold unless paid by account payee or electronic system.
The amendment disallows capital-expenditure deductions for specified business where payments (or aggregate payments to a person in a day) are made otherwise than by account payee cheque, account payee bank draft, or electronic clearing system through a bank and exceed the prescribed cash threshold, expanding the existing exclusion alongside acquisitions such as land, goodwill, and financial instruments.
