UPDATE: Tax interest rate increase to 10.5%?

The increase in tax interest will not be implemented for the time being.

In a letter dated 23 February 2023, the State Secretary of Finance announced an adjustment to the policy decision. The decision will take effect on 1 March 2023 with retroactive effect. Due to this adjustment, for taxpayers who have to pay tax interest, the interest rate to be paid will remain 8%.

However, for taxpayers who will receive tax interest from 1 March 2023, 10.5% interest will be charged until the decision takes effect. Then the tax interest receivable will also become 8%, but without retrospective effect.

The systematics surrounding tax interest will be further examined during the spring decision.
