For purposes of section 697(j), the overpayment rate of interest is set at 3 percent per annum and the underpayment rate of interest is set at 7.5 percent per annum. For purposes of section 1096(e), the overpayment rate of interest is set at 3 percent per annum and the underpayment rate of interest is set at 8 percent per annum. (The underpayment rates set pursuant to sections 697(j) and 1096(e) may not be less than 7.5 percent per annum.) Pursuant to Tax Law section 1145(a)(1), the underpayment rate for State and local sales and use taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance is 14.5 percent per annum. The underpayment rate for the special assessments on hazardous waste imposed by Environmental Conservation Law section 27-0923 is 15 percent.

For the interest rates applicable to overpayments (refunds) and underpayments (late payments and assessments) of the following taxes administered by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance for the period April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, see the table below:

4/1/22 - 6/30/22 Interest Rate Per Annum Compounded Daily

* The Tax Law requires the interest rate on sales tax assessments or late payments to be set at 14.5% for this quarter. However, if the Commissioner determines that the failure to pay or the delay in payment is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, the Commissioner may impose interest at the corporation tax late payment and assessment rate. That rate is 8% for this quarter.

** There are a number of state and local governmental bodies that have interest rates tied to the overpayment and underpayment rates contained in either section 697(j) (Income Tax) or section 1096(e) (Corporation Tax) of the Tax Law. For purposes of section 697(j) and section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the overpayment rate for this period is 3%. For purposes of section 697(j) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is 7.5%. For purposes of section 1096(e) of the Tax Law, the underpayment rate for this period is 8%.
