A. Unless otherwise specifically provided, interest on omitted taxes,
assessments and refunds under this title shall be computed at the rates equal to
the rates of interest established pursuant to &#xA7; 6621 of the Internal
Revenue Code. The rate of interest on omitted taxes and assessments under this
title shall be the &#8220;Underpayment Rate&#8221; established pursuant to
&#xA7; 6621(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code plus two percent. The rate of
interest on refunds under this title shall be the &#8220;Overpayment Rate&#8221;
for noncorporate taxpayers established pursuant to &#xA7; 6621(a)(1) of the

multiplying the deficiency or overpayment for each period by the rate of
interest applicable to that period.

plus two percent which applies during the third month following such taxable
year shall also be applicable through May 1.
