N.Y. General City Model 772/66 § 75: Interest on underpayment

§ 75. Interest on underpayment. 1. General.--If any amount of tax is

not paid on or before the last date prescribed in whichever of the named

parts is applicable for payment, interest on such amount at the rate set

by the commissioner of finance pursuant to section eighty-seven, or, if

no rate is set, at the rate of six percentum per annum shall be paid for

the period from such last date to the date paid, whether or not any

extension of time for payment was granted. Interest under this

subdivision shall not be paid if the amount thereof is less than one

dollar.

2. Exception as to estimated tax.--This section shall not apply to any

failure to pay estimated tax under part two or part three of this title.

3. Exception for mathematical error.--No interest shall be imposed on

any underpayment of tax due solely to mathematical error if the taxpayer

files a return within the time prescribed in whichever of the named

parts is applicable (including any extension of time) and pays the

amount of underpayment within three months after the due date of such

return, as it may be extended.

5. Suspension of interest on deficiencies.--If a waiver of

restrictions on assessment of a deficiency has been filed by the

taxpayer, and if notice and demand by the director of finance for

payment of such deficiency is not made within thirty days after the

filing of such waiver, interest shall not be imposed on such deficiency

for the period beginning immediately after such thirtieth day and ending

with the date of notice and demand.

6. Tax reduced by carryback.--If the amount of tax under part two for

any taxable year is reduced by reason of a carryback of a net operating

loss, such reduction in tax shall not affect the computation of interest

under this section for the period ending with the filing date for the

taxable year in which the net operating loss arises. Such filing date

shall be determined without regard to extensions of time to file.

7. Interest treated as tax.--Interest under this section shall be paid

upon notice and demand and shall be assessed, collected and paid in the

same manner as the taxes under the named parts. Any reference in this

part to the tax imposed by the named parts, or any of them, shall be

deemed also to refer to interest imposed by this section on such tax.

8. Interest on penalties or additions to tax.--Interest shall be

imposed under subdivision one in respect of any assessable penalty or

addition to tax only if such assessable penalty or addition to tax is

not paid within ten days from the date of the notice and demand therefor

under subdivision two of section eighty-three and in such case interest

shall be imposed only for the period from such date of the notice and

demand to the date of payment.

9. Payment prior to notice of deficiency.--If, prior to the mailing to

the taxpayer of a notice of deficiency under subdivision two of section

seventy-two, the director of finance mails to the taxpayer a notice of

proposed increase of tax and within thirty days after the date of the

notice of proposed increase the taxpayer pays all amounts shown on the

notice to be due to the director of finance, no interest under this

section on the amount so paid shall be imposed for the period after the

date of such notice of proposed increase.

10. Payment within ninety days after notice of deficiency.--If a

notice of deficiency under section seventy-two is mailed to the

taxpayer, and the total amount specified in such notice is paid on or

before the ninetieth day after the date of mailing, interest under this

section shall not be imposed for the period after the date of the

notice.

11. Payment within ten days after notice and demand.--If notice and

demand is made for payment of any amount under subdivision two of

section eighty-three, and if such amount is paid within ten days after

the date of such notice and demand, interest under this section on the

amount so paid shall not be imposed for the period after the date of

such notice and demand.

12. Limitation on assessment and collection.--Interest prescribed

under this section may be assessed and collected at any time during the

period within which the tax or other amount to which such interest

relates may be assessed and collected, respectively.

13. Interest on erroneous refund.--Any portion of tax or other amount

which has been erroneously refunded, and which is recoverable by the

commissioner of finance, shall bear interest at the rate set by the

commissioner of finance pursuant to section eighty-seven, or, if no rate

is set, at the rate of six percentum per annum from the date of the

payment of the refund, but only if it appears that any part of the

refund was induced by fraud or a misrepresentation of a material fact.

14. Satisfaction by credits.--If any portion of a tax is satisfied by

credit of an overpayment, then no interest shall be imposed under this

section on the portion of the tax so satisfied for any period during

which, if the credit had not been made, interest would have been

allowable with respect to such overpayment.
