120KD: Provisional tax instalments in transitional years

You could also call this:

"Paying provisional tax in smaller parts during a special year"

Illustration for Tax Administration Act 1994

You pay provisional tax in instalments. For a transitional year, your residual income tax is due and payable as determined under sections RC 21 to RC 24 of the Income Tax Act 2007. You can find more information in Schedule 3, Part B of the Income Tax Act 2007. You are liable for use of money interest for unpaid tax in relation to the instalments of provisional tax payable in the months set out in Schedule 3, Part B of the Income Tax Act 2007. The date interest starts is the day after the day on which payment of the instalment is due under section RC 21 of that Act. This section does not apply to a person that section 120KBB applies to, unless you are a new provisional taxpayer. You calculate the amount of interest due in relation to an instalment of provisional tax using a formula. In the formula, the instalment period is either 4 or 6, depending on when you pay your provisional tax. A provisional taxpayer includes a new provisional taxpayer.

Specific provisions

120KDProvisional tax instalments in transitional years

  1. For a transitional year to which Schedule 3, Part B of the Income Tax Act 2007 applies, the residual income tax of a provisional taxpayer, other than a person to whom section 120KE(1) or (3) applies, is due and payable as determined under sections RC 21 to RC 24 of the Income Tax Act 2007.

  2. This section does not apply to a person that section 120KBB applies to, unless the person is a new provisional taxpayer.

  3. A provisional taxpayer in a transitional year is liable for use of money interest for unpaid tax in relation to the instalments of provisional tax payable in the months set out in Schedule 3, Part B of the Income Tax Act 2007. The date interest starts is the day after the day on which payment of the instalment is due under section RC 21 of that Act.

  4. For the purposes of calculating the amount of interest due in relation to an instalment of provisional tax other than a final instalment, the amount of residual income tax payable on the instalment date is calculated using the formula—

    residual income tax × instalment period ÷ months in transitional year.

    Where:

    • In the formula, the instalment period is either—

    • 4, for provisional taxpayers who pay on the equivalent of instalment dates B, D, and F; or
      1. 6, for provisional taxpayers who pay on the equivalent of instalment dates C and F.

        1. For the purposes of calculating the amount of interest due in relation to a final instalment of provisional tax, the amount of residual income tax payable is the residual income tax for the tax year minus any amount treated as due on an instalment date referred to in subsection (3).

        2. In this section, a provisional taxpayer includes a new provisional taxpayer.
