The interest paid to taxpayers who overpay will drop from 4.67% to 4.3%, while the rate charged for underpayment will fall slightly from 10.91% to 10.88%.
These rates, based on Reserve Bank formulas, highlight a wider issue of financial pressure as accountants report an increase in clients facing tax debt.
A recent survey showed that 79% of accountants in public practice have arranged or modified tax debt plans for clients, reflecting the economic struggles businesses are facing due to rising interest rates, a cooling economy, and heightened Inland Revenue audits.
Experts urge taxpayers with debt to seek professional advice and set up repayment plans to avoid further penalties.
