COM83001 - Interest: interest demands and statements: introduction


Payment applications issued by the computer for payment of mainstream CT or penalties for APs ending on or after 1 October 1993, will show under the heading of ‘Interest due’

Plus any
And
  • Any accruing late payment interest on any tax still collectible

Notes:

1.

Payment applications are not issued automatically for companies within a Group Payment Arrangement (Word 33KB) until the payments have been apportioned between the companies in the group. For more information see section ‘Group Payment Arrangements’ (COM96000) in business area ‘Payments’

2.

The computer does not calculate interest on tax that is stood-over or suspended

Notices of Assessment (Word 29KB) and Penalty Determinations show the total late payment interest accrued to date except where the Clerical Interest Indicator (CII (Word 32KB)) is set to ‘Y’.

When charging or amending interest automatically, the computer will

    • Start a new cycle of payment applications for the interest where no tax or penalty is outstanding(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000) 
    • Not start a new cycle of payment applications where tax or penalties remain outstanding - any charged or accrued interest is automatically included on subsequent applications for payment
  • For an AP subject to Clerical Pursuit
    • Leave the AP working with the Banking Operations Office or Debt Management Office

Notes:

1.

The computer does charge late payment interest automatically until the tax liability has been paid in full

2.

Credit interest / debit interest is not calculated automatically until the normal due date (Word 49KB) has been reached and the SA returned has been received


Function DPUR (Display Pursuit Action) displays for each payment application issued by the computer

  • The type of application. For more information see section ‘Automatic And Clerical Pursuit’ (COM110000) in business area ‘Pursuit’
  • The date the application was issued
  • The total amount outstanding - including the unpaid interest at that date

Once an interest charge has been raised or amended using Function RMIC (Raise Manual Interest Charge), the computer will not allow you to

  • Amend the Pursuit Status
  • Set the Clerical Interest Indicator (CII) to ‘N’ when you have raised a late payment interest charge
  • Set the Credit / Debit Interest Indicator (CDII) to ‘N’ when you have raised a credit / debit interest charge

Note: Where either late payment interest or credit / debit interest has been raised or amended manually using function RMIC (Raise Manual Interest Charge) the Banking Operations Office or Debt Management Office will have to issue payment applications for any outstanding liability clerically. When you need to do that, see section ‘Automatic And Clerical Pursuit’ (COM110000) in business area ‘Pursuit’.

You can issue an interest statement to the company, or agent, or both using Function IINT (Issue Interest Statement). An interest statement cannot be issued to an overseas address.
