HC Deb 05 November 1979 vol 973 cc25-6W
Mr. Denzil Davies

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the present rate of interest charged on the balance of corporation tax which becomes payable from the reckonable date; and if there are any plans to increase it.

Mr. Peter Rees

Interest on any balance of corporation tax paid after the reckonable date is charged at the current prescribed rate of 9 per cent. The rate of interest is kept under regular review.
