The legal interest on arrears, which the NRA administers, remains at 10 percent until the end of the year. The increase in the basic interest rate from 0% to 0.49%, which the BNB introduced from October 1, 2022, will not be affected, since the legal interest is calculated twice a year – on January 1 and on July 1 of the respective year, based on the base interest rate on that date plus 10 percentage points.
