Interest on early payments worksheet (epi)

A payment will be deemed early when it is paid more than 14 days before the due date. Interest will be calculated from the payment date, up to and including the due date.

Early payment interest is not payable on any component of the payment that exceeds the amount due, amounts deducted under arrangements for collection of tax at time of payment for example, PAYG, amounts credited following assessment in payment of the tax liability, amounts paid less than 14 days before the due date.

Complete the details and the amount of interest which you may be entitled to is calculated and transferred to the main return.
