What is Default interest?

Interest applied to taxes assessed as a result of a tax inspection, from the date on which they would have been payable had they been assessed on time.

Default interest is governed by Article 112 of the Tax Procedure Law and calculated at the late payment surcharge rate. It is added to the tax in cases of supplementary or ex officio assessment.
