SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1505 and Treasury Decision 85-93, published
in
[[Page 234]]
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 provides 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 2021-24, the IRS determined the rates of interest
for the calendar quarter beginning January 1, 2022, and ending on March
31, 2022. The interest rate paid to the Treasury for underpayments will
be the Federal short-term rate (0%) plus three percentage points (3%)
for a total of three percent (3%) for both corporations and non-
corporations. For corporate overpayments, the rate is the Federal
short-term rate (0%) plus two percentage points (2%) for a total of two
percent (2%). For overpayments made by non-corporations, the rate is
the Federal short-term rate (0%) plus three percentage points (3%) for
a total of three percent (3%). These interest rates used to calculate
interest on overdue accounts (underpayments) and refunds (overpayments)
of customs duties remain the same from the previous quarter. These
interest rates are subject to change for the calendar quarter beginning
April 1, 2022, and ending on June 30, 2022.
For the convenience of the importing public and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection personnel, the following list of IRS interest rates
used, covering the period from July of 1974 to date, to calculate
interest on overdue accounts and refunds of customs duties, is
published in summary format.
