Simple Tax Time Question: Invoice generated in June to be paid in July

Quick question on what happens in this sceanrio:

Say I was given quote for insurance on 25th June and 14 days to pay it. So, Invoice says 25th June of $100. However, if i pay in July. Then can i claim in next financial year or would it need to be part of current financial year claim.

I know people will say ask your accountant, etc. Yes i will. However, as a quick community check given lots of people manage businesses and do their own tax. Just wanted to get quick feedback.

    If your business operates on a cash basis, July. If an accruals basis, June.

    • Actually this is just for personal tax return question. Specifically claiming on landlord insurance on investment property

        Quote or invoice to pay, you should have a receipt after you pay, right? So date of receipt

        • Yeah. Thanks for that

      • ah, if you want to clarify if your personal situation would substantiate a cash vs accruals basis.. ask your accountant
