Tax interest rates

Tax interest is compounded daily and interest rates are reset every 3 months.

Note: Provincial land tax interest rates are not reset every three months. Provincial land tax interest rates are summarized on the provincial land tax webpage. Interest rates do not apply to the Estate Administration Tax Act, 1998. Interest rates specific to rebates and refunds of the Non-Resident Speculation Tax (including as a result of a successful appeal or objection) are located on the Non-Resident Speculation Tax webpage.
