HMRC will reduce late payment and repayment interest rates from 25 February following the cut in the base rate.

The Bank of England cut the base rate to 4.5% on 6 February, triggering a 0.25% cut in HMRC interest rates which are pegged to the base rate.

From 25 February, the late payment interest rate will be cut to 7.0% from 7.25%.

The repayment interest rate will be cut to 3.5% from 3.75% from 25 February.

HMRC late payment interest is set at base rate plus 2.5%. Repayment interest is set at base rate minus 1%, with a lower limit - or 'minimum floor' - of 0.5%.

Corporation tax self assessment interest rates relating to interest charged on underpaid quarterly instalment payments dropped to 5.5% from 5.75% from 17 February, a week earlier than the main late payment rate change.
