WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced that interest rates will remain the same for the calendar quarter beginning Oct. 1, 2016. The rates will be:

•four (4) percent for overpayments (three (3) percent in the case of a corporation);
•1 and one-half (1.5) percent for the portion of a corporate overpayment exceeding $10,000;
•four (4) percent for underpayments; and
•six (6) percent for large corporate underpayments.

​ Under the Internal Revenue Code, the rate of interest is determined on a quarterly basis. For taxpayers other than corporations, the overpayment and underpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points.

Generally, in the case of a corporation, the underpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus 3 percentage points and the overpayment rate is the federal short-term rate plus 2 percentage points. The rate for large corporate underpayments is the federal short-term rate plus 5 percentage points. The rate on the portion of a corporate overpayment of tax exceeding $10,000 for a taxable period is the federal short-term rate plus one-half (0.5) of a percentage point.

The interest rates announced today are computed from the federal short-term rate determined during July 2016 to take effect Aug. 1, 2016, based on daily compounding.
