HMRC interest rates for late payments are revised following the Bank of England interest rate rise to 0.75%.
The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee voted on 17th March 2022 to increase the Bank of England base rate to 0.75% from 0.50%. HMRC interest rates are linked to the Bank of England base rate.
As a consequence of the change in the base rate, HMRC interest rates for the late payment will increase.
These changes come into effect on:
- 28th March 2022 for quarterly instalment payments
- 5th April 2022 for non-quarterly instalments payments
