Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1505 and
Treasury Decision 85–93, published in
the Federal Register on May 29, 1985
(50 FR 21832), the interest rate paid on
applicable overpayments or
underpayments of customs duties must
be in accordance with the Internal
Revenue Code rate established under 26
U.S.C. 6621 and 6622. Section 6621 was
amended (at paragraph (a)(1)(B) by the
Internal Revenue Service Restructuring
and Reform Act of 1998, Pub. L. 105–
206, 112 Stat. 685) to provide different
interest rates applicable to
overpayments: one for corporations and
one for non-corporations.
The interest rates are based on the
Federal short-term rate and determined
by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on
behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury
on a quarterly basis. The rates effective
for a quarter are determined during the
first-month period of the previous
quarter.
In Revenue Ruling 2012–16, the IRS
determined the rates of interest for the
calendar quarter beginning July 1, 2012,
and ending on September 30, 2012. The
interest rate paid to the Treasury for
underpayments will be the Federal
short-term rate (1%) plus two
percentage points (2%) for a total of
three percent (3%) for both corporations
and non-corporations. For corporate
overpayments, the rate is the Federal
short-term rate (1%) plus one
percentage point (1%) for a total of two
percent (2%). For overpayments made
by non-corporations, the rate is the
Federal short-term rate (1%) plus two
percentage points (2%) for a total of
three percent (3%). These interest rates
are subject to change for the calendar
quarter beginning October 1, 2012, and
ending December 31, 2012.
For the convenience of the importing
public and Customs and Border
Protection personnel the following list
of IRS interest rates used, covering the
period from before July of 1974 to date,
to calculate interest on overdue
accounts and refunds of customs duties,
is published in summary format.
