These regulations, which come into force on 29 June 2009,—
reduce from 9.73% to 8.91% the taxpayer's paying rate of interest on unpaid tax:
reduce from 4.23% to 1.82% the Commissioner's paying rate on overpaid tax.
The rates fixed by these regulations have been determined in accordance with the Taxation (Use of Money Interest Rates Setting Process) Regulations 1997. Those regulations were amended by a companion measure to these regulations in respect of the setting process for the taxpayer's paying rate.
