The Commissioner of Taxation and Finance hereby sets the interest rates for the months of January, February, and March, 2018 pursuant to sections 697(j) and 1096(e) of the Tax Law, as follows:

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 section 1145(a)(1) of the Tax Law, 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 section 27-0923 of the Environmental Conservation Law 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 January 1, 2018 through March 31, 2018, see the table below:

1/1/18 - 3/31/18 Interest Rate Per Annum Compounded Daily

* The Tax Law requires the interest rate on sales tax assessments or late payments to be set at 14-1/2% 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%.

*** Under section 527(f) of the Tax Law, the interest rates relating to the Fuel Use tax are set pursuant to the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA). For more information regarding IFTA interest rates, see www.iftach.org.

For further information contact: Kathleen O’Connell, Office of Counsel, Department of Taxation and Finance, W. A. Harriman Campus, Albany, NY 12227, (518) 530-4153 For rates for previous periods, visit the Department of Taxation and Finance website: www.tax.ny.gov/taxnews/int_curr.htm

Pursuant to the provisions of subdivisions (e), (f), (g) and (h) of section 301-a, subdivision (b) of section 301-d, subdivisions (b) and (c) of section 301-e, subdivisions (a) and (c) of section 301-j and subdivision (a) of section 308 of the Tax Law, the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance hereby gives public notice regarding the petroleum business tax (Tax Law, Article 13-A) rate adjustment calculation and the resulting rates effective January 1, 2018 (effective March 1, 2018 for quarterly filers), as follows: The motor fuel and highway diesel motor fuel rate is adjusted from $.097 to $.101; the non-highway diesel motor fuel rate is adjusted from $.089 to $.093; the residual petroleum product rate is adjusted from $.068 to $.071; the kero-jet fuel rate is adjusted from $.065 to $.068; the aviation gasoline rate is adjusted from $.097 to $.101; the rate of the supplemental tax on aviation gasoline is adjusted from $.065 to $.068; and the rate of the supplemental petroleum business tax is adjusted from $.065 to $.068. The separate rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel is adjusted from $.0475 to $.0505; it is computed by subtracting one and three-quarters cents from the adjusted rate of the supplemental petroleum business tax. The railroad diesel rate is adjusted from $.084 to $.088; it is computed by subtracting one and three-tenths cents from the motor fuel and highway diesel motor fuel rate.

The basic utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to residual petroleum product is adjusted from $.0542 to $.0569 and the basic utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to non-highway diesel motor fuel product is adjusted from $.0545 to $.0572. The basic utility credit (or reimbursement) rates are further adjusted by adding one-half of one cent to the adjusted basic rates of the utility credits (or reimbursements); as a result, the utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to residual petroleum product is adjusted from $.0592 to $.0619, and the utility credit (or reimbursement) rate with respect to non-highway diesel motor fuel product is adjusted from $.0595 to $.0622.

The adjusted petroleum business tax rates are obtained by multiplying the existing rates by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the monthly producer price indices (unadjusted) for refined petroleum products for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2017, and the denominator of which is the sum of the monthly producer price indices (unadjusted) for refined petroleum products for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2016. Such monthly producer price indices for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2017, are 154.2, 159.0, 152.1, 156.3, 165.3, 166.5, 165.0, 170.6, 165.6, 165.4, 166.1, and 175.7, which total 1961.8. Such monthly producer price indices for the twelve consecutive months ending with the month of August 2016, are 165.8, 161.3, 156.2, 138.6, 125.4, 114.6, 122.2, 132.4, 144.3, 157.9, 154.6, and 148.2, which total 1721.5. The producer price index for the category of commodities designated as refined petroleum products is published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. As required by law, the adjusted rates, except the utility credit (or reimbursement) rates and the rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel, have been rounded to the nearest tenth of one cent. The utility credit (or reimbursement) rates and the rate of supplemental petroleum business tax with respect to highway diesel motor fuel have been rounded to the nearest hundredth of one cent. Section 301-a of the Tax Law does not allow the rates to change by more than 5 percent of the rates in effect on December 31. The computed rate change would be an increase of 14 percent; therefore, all the above rates were subject to the 5 percent limitation.
