► Interest is 1% per month for each month the tax payment is late, beginning with the 1st of the month
after the due date.
EXAMPLE FOR COMPUTING INTEREST:
For taxes due July 25, 2005 and not paid until October 15, 2005 interest applies at 1% beginning
August 1, 2005, 2% on September 1, 2005, 3% on October 1, 2005, and so on.
● For a late-fi led original report, compute the interest by multiplying the tax due on line 18 by the
applicable interest rate.
● If there is additional tax due on an amended report, compute the interest by multiplying the additional
tax due on line 18 by the applicable interest rate. The additional tax due is the difference between the
tax reported on line 18 of the original report and the tax reported on line 18 of the amended report.
NOTE: An Excel worksheet programmed to compute interest can be E-mailed to you upon request.
