Custom Rate Tables

To calculate interest and/or penalties:

1.Select Custom to calculate Interest and Penalties for an Entered Federal jurisdiction or a Custom Jurisdiction (a custom state or an entered jurisdiction other than Canada or United Kingdom). Because these custom jurisdictions do not have a rate table in TimeValue's TaxInterest, you can build your own rate table for the position and select the type of compounding (Daily, Monthly, Quarterly or Simple) for computing interest.
2.Select the check boxes for the area(s) you want to calculate.
3.Use the Calendar feature to select dates to ensure the entry of dates are in the correct format (MM/DD/YYYY). Click Calculate Interest & Penalties. Once the calculation is complete, the previous data entry page appears with the interest and/or penalties amounts.

To build a custom rate table in the import file:

1.Enter the start and end dates and applicable rate for the period. Only valid rates are accepted:
Rates can be imported/exported in the Interest & Penalties area of the Admin Center.
Rates are available in .25% increments from 1% up to 25%.
Rates are available in .50% increments from 25% up to 100%.
The start date is one day after the end date from the previous line and cannot be modified.
The rate table can have multiple rates.
You can create a custom rate table profile. For example, if you create one for Germany you can apply Germany to one or more positions.

 


Note:

In versions prior to 5.0, you can enter up to five rows of rates. Now, you can create a table with unlimited rows and reference these tables when calculating interest.
To remove the last row from the rate table click the X. Only the last line in the rate table can be removed.
