Penalties and interest apply to any deficient or delinquent payments. A penalty of 5% of the unpaid amount is added for each month (or part of the month) that a payment is delinquent or deficient, up to a maximum of 25%. Interest is computed at the current rate of interest.
The interest rate on all taxes collected or administered by the Department of Revenue is currently 8% and is effective until June 30, 2023. For installment payment agreements, the current interest rate is 11%.
Previously, from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022, the interest rate was 7.25%. The interest rate for installment payment agreements was 9.25%.
