§ 806.1. Interest on overpayments
(a) “Overpayment” shall mean any payment of tax which is determined in the manner provided by law not to be legally due. Simple interest shall be allowed and paid by the Commonwealth upon any overpayment to the Commonwealth of any tax. The interest shall be allowed and paid for the period during which the Commonwealth retained the overpayment, beginning with the date of the overpayment, except that:
(5) If any overpayment of tax is refunded or credited within seventy-five (75) days after the last date prescribed for filing the final return or report of the tax (determined without regard to any extension of time for filing) or, in case the final return or report is filed after the last day, and is refunded or credited within seventy-five (75) days after the date the final return or report is filed, no interest shall be allowed on the overpayment. For the purpose of this clause, a final return or report shall be deemed to have been filed only if, when it is received by the Department of Revenue, it has been submitted on a permitted form containing (i) the taxpayer's name, address and identifying number and the required signature; and (ii) sufficient required information, either on the permitted form or attachments thereto, to permit the verification of tax liability shown on the return.
(b.1) Interest on overpayments of the tax imposed under Article III of the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L. 6, No. 2),1 known as the “Tax Reform Code of 1971,” shall be allowed and paid at the same rate as is prescribed for underpayments under section 806.
(ii) The date as of which the credit is applied, whichever first occurs: Provided, however, That in the case of a cash refund of a previously determined credit, interest shall be allowed and paid on the amount of the credit from a date ninety (90) days after the filing of a petition for a cash refund to a date preceding the date of the refund check by not more than thirty (30) days whether or not the refund check is accepted by the taxpayer after tender to the taxpayer.
