Interest we pay

We'll pay you interest on certain tax liabilities when:

• you pay more than 14 days before the due date
• you overpay
• there's a delay in us paying your refund.

We pay interest to compensate those taxpayers who pay certain tax liabilities early, overpay certain taxes or where there has been a delay in refunding particular amounts to you.
