Additional Interest on Overdue Instalment Payments
Interest on debts accrues on any portion of an instalment payment that is not made by the deadline.
Additional interest of 10% per year, capitalized daily, will be charged on top of the regular interest on amounts owing if:
- the individual's payment is less than 75% of the amount owed;
- the corporation's payment is less than 90% of the amount owed.
