* 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 10% 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 Tax Law section 1096(e) (Corporation Tax).
