“(a) Simple interest shall be payable in respect of an amount of tax which is due and payable and which remains unpaid, and shall be calculated, from the specified date to the date of payment, for any day or part of a day during which that amount of tax remains unpaid (and by reference to the outstanding balance of that amount, as distinct from being by reference to an amount of a particular instalment due) at the prevailing rate specified in the Table to subsection (2)(c)(ii) of section 1080.”.

(2) IT is hereby declared that it is expedient in the public interest that this Resolution shall have statutory effect under the provisions of the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act 1927 (No. 7 of 1927).
