Instructions to complete the labels H1 to H8 of the calculation statement.

Last updated 18 December 2023

H1 – Credit for interest on early payments – amount of interest

Write at H1 only the calculated interest amount of 50 cents or more for early payment. Do not show actual payments.

Interest may be payable where an actual payment is made on account of certain tax liabilities more than 14 days before the due date of payment. Amounts that may attract early payment interest include payments of:

  • income tax
  • shortfall interest charge
  • interest payable under section 102AAM of the ITAA 1936.

Amounts that are not directly paid to us, but are reduced by the crediting or applying of an amount do not attract early payment interest. These amounts include:

  • credit for instalments payable under the PAYG instalment regime
  • credit for amounts withheld from withholding payments under the PAYG withholding regime
  • an overpayment of other income tax liabilities
  • a running balance account (RBA) surplus
  • any other credit entitlement arising under a taxation law.

Early payment interest is also not payable on any part of the payment that:

  • exceeds the amount due
  • attracts interest on overpayment under Part IIIA of the Taxation (Interest On Overpayments And Early Payments) Act 1983.

Early payment interest is calculated from the date the early payment is made to the date the amount becomes due and payable. However, where an amount that is paid early is refunded before the day it becomes due and payable, interest does not accrue for any period after the day it is refunded.

Date of payment is the date:

  • shown on the receipt
  • the payment is posted to us, plus three business days, or
  • shown on the taxpayer’s bank statement where payment is made through direct debit; that is, electronic funds transfer (EFT).

If the early payment extends over two or more interest periods, calculate the interest for the number of days in each period.

Interest is calculated as follows:

Step 1. Divide the number of days by 365, or 366 for a leap year. Step 2. Divide the interest rate for the period by 100. Step 3. Multiply the result from step 1 by the amount of payment. Step 4. Multiply the result from step 3 by the result from step 2.

Keep a record of the amount of early payment interest claimed. This interest is assessable income in the income year it is paid or credited against another liability.
