CC 8: Use of money interest payable by Commissioner

You could also call this:

“Interest paid to you by the Commissioner is counted as income”

If the Commissioner pays you interest under Part 7 of the Tax Administration Act 1994, you need to count it as income. This interest is allocated according to section EF 4, which talks about the use of money interest payable by the Commissioner. When you’re dealing with financial arrangements rules, you don’t need to include this interest. These rules don’t apply to the interest mentioned in this section.
