英国税务当局将迟缴利息降低到7%,使迟缴纳税人受益。 UK tax authority reduces late payment interest rate to 7%, benefiting late-paying taxpayers.

在英格兰银行削减基本利率后,英国税务当局HMRC将从2月17日起将纳税人的迟付利率从7.25%降至7%。 The UK's tax authority, HMRC, will reduce late payment interest rates for taxpayers from 7.25% to 7% starting February 17, following the Bank of England's base rate cut. 这一变化使超过1月最后期限的110万名自我评估纳税人受益。 This change benefits around 1.1 million self-assessment taxpayers who missed the January deadline. 然而,批评者认为,与退税相比,HMRC仍然对逾期付款收取两倍的利息。 However, critics argue that HMRC still charges twice as much interest on overdue payments compared to what it pays on tax refunds.
