DEPARTMENT OF STATE REVENUE
 
Departmental Notice #3
(Replaces Notice #3 Dated November 2012)
Effective Date: January 1, 2014


SUBJECT: INTEREST RATES FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2014
SUMMARY
Each year, the Indiana Department of Revenue Commissioner is required to establish the applicable interest rates for tax overpayments and underpayments that will take effect for the immediately succeeding calendar year. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the interest rates that will be effective beginning Jan. 1, 2014.
Pursuant to IC 6-8.1-10-1, the rate of interest for an underpayment of tax and an excess tax payment is the percentage rounded to the nearest whole number that equals two percentage points above the average investment yield on state money for the state's fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, excluding pension fund investments, as provided by the State Treasurer's office. The rate of interest for an underpayment of tax and an excess tax payment for calendar year 2014 will be 3%.
A historical list of the above-calculated percentages is attached to this document.
