HMRC have announced revised interest rates for quarterly instalment payments, and early payments of corporation tax not due by instalments.
The revised rates, which take effect from 17 December 2007, cover quarterly instalment payments and early payments of corporation tax not due by instalments, in respect of accounting periods ending on or after 1 July 1999. The rates have been cut as a result of the recent movement in market rates.
The rate of interest charged on underpaid instalment payments of corporation tax changes from 6.75 per cent to 6.5 per cent.
The rate of interest on overpaid instalment payments of corporation tax, and on corporation tax paid early (but not due by instalments) changes from 5.5 per cent to 5.25 per cent.
