For quarterly instalments, the changes will come into effect on the 15th of August 2022. For non-quarterly, it will be the 23rd of August 2022. The repayment interest rate will increase to 0.75% as this is set at the BoE rate minus 1% with a 0.5% lower limit.

"HMRC's interest rates are set in legislation and linked to the Bank of England base rate!"

Late payment interest is set at base rate plus 2.5% and the differential between late payment and repayment interest is in line with worldwide tax authorities and compares favourably with commercial rates.

Of course, the higher late payment interest encourages prompt payment. This, in turn, ensures fairness for those individuals who pay tax on time and compensates taxpayers for the loss of use of their money when they overpay or pay early.

Until next time ...
