You pay interest if you are late with a payment. You receive interest if we are late with a refund. In both cases, this is called collection interest.
You pay interest for late payments
You only have to pay interest on amounts of €49.00 or more. We calculate the interest automatically after you’ve paid everything in full. The longer it takes you to pay, the higher the interest amount will be. We use the statutory interest rate to calculate the interest amount. The statutory interest rate is currently 4.3%
How do you know if you have to pay interest?
We’ll send you a letter if you have to pay interest. We call this letter an “interest assessment.” You have 14 days from the date on the letter to pay the interest.
When do we pay you interest?
We pay collection interest if:
- you receive a refund from us late. This is the case if it takes longer than 6 weeks after the decision for you to receive the amount
- you have requested a postponement of your objection, were denied, and we later reduce the tax assessment
In these situations as well, we apply the statutory interest rate in effect at that time. Currently, the statutory interest rate is 4.3%
