Tax interest rates

Interest is charged if payment is not received by the due date. Remember: if the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, your payment is due the next working day. The Ministry of Finance also applies interest to amounts the ministry owes to individuals and corporations. Tax interest is compounded daily and interest rates are reset every 3 months. **Note:** Provincial land tax interest rates are not reset every three months. Provincial land tax interest rates are summarized on the [provincial land tax webpage](https://www.ontario.ca/document/provincial-land-tax). **Note:** Interest rates do not apply to the Estate Administration Tax Act, 1998. Current interest rates (July 1, 2026 to September 30, 2026): * 7% on taxes you owe to the ministry * 1% on taxes you overpaid * 4% on taxes or refunds you are eligible for as a result of a successful appeal or objection * 5% on late International Fuel Tax Agreement payments * 5% on International Fuel Tax Agreement refunds the ministry has not paid you within 90 days You can download the dataset to view the historical tax interest rates. __Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST)__ _(1)_ Interest on tax you overpaid begins to accrue 40 business days after a complete NRST rebate or refund application is received by the Ministry of Finance to the date the rebate or refund is paid. _(2)_ On refunds you are eligible for as a result of a successful appeal or objection of a NRST refund/rebate disallowance, the interest rate is the same rate as though you had overpaid and will begin to accrue 40 business days after a complete NRST rebate or refund application is received by the Ministry of Finance to the date the rebate or refund is paid. Refunds as a result of a successful appeal or objection of NRST that was paid pursuant to a Notice of Assessment, interest will accrue at the higher appeals/objection rate, beginning to accrue from the date of payment to the date the rebate or refund is paid.

Reports of Atlantic salmon captured in BC waters

Fisheries and Oceans Canada's (DFO) Atlantic Salmon Watch Program (ASWP) monitors reports from commercial and sport catches and collects information from voluntary observations of Atlantic salmon in British Columbia (B.C.) waters. In addition to data gathered from DFO’s monitoring activities, the program relies on information provided Indigenous, recreational, and commercial fishers, as well as fish processors, government, independent field biologists, and hatchery workers who report observations of Atlantic salmon.

The program was established in 1991 to study the abundance, distribution and biology of Atlantic salmon that had escaped from salmon farms in B.C. Through the 1990s and early 2000s, this program was actively seeking voluntary reports and submission of captured Atlantic salmon from the public. DFO staff followed up on reports and verified them through photographs or biological samples where available. The monitoring from this time indicated that escaped Atlantic salmon were not successful in establishing feral populations, allowing for a reduction in proactive surveillance efforts. This report is no longer updated due to low numbers of verifiable reports and samples being submitted.

A summary of reports made to the ASWP from 2005 to 2019 can be found below.

Anyone who encounters an Atlantic salmon in B.C. waters is encouraged to report the observation or capture by calling the ASWP toll-free reporting line at 1-800-811-6010 or email [ASWP@dfo-mpo.gc.ca](mailto:aswp@dfo-mpo.gc.ca "aswp@dfo-mpo.gc.ca"). You will be asked where and when you caught the fish and if you wish to voluntarily donate it for research purposes, which provides valuable information to our scientific study.

Lake Superior Nearshore Waters Assessment

Water quality and ecosystem health data used to conduct a cumulative effects assessment of Lake Superior nearshore waters in support of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement are included in this dataset. Data related to nearshore stressors is integrated into an overall assessment in a three-phased approach: 1) classification of the nearshore into Regional Units using physical processes and lake characteristics; 2) overall assessment of the state (cumulative stress) of each Regional Unit; and 3) integrate additional information related to nearshore areas of high ecological value. 

Assessment data is presented within a 100 metre depth zone along the coast. For purposes of determining stress on nearshore waters it is necessary to consider the zones of influence and zones of impact. Measures used to assess the nearshore waters of Lake Superior are broken into four categories: 1) Coastal Processes (Shoreline Hardening, Littoral Barriers, Tributary Connectivity); 2) Contaminants in Water & Sediment (Water Quality, Sediment Quality, Benthic Community); 3) Nuisance & Harmful Algae (Cyanobacteria, Cladophora); and 4) Human Use (Beach Postings, Fish Consumption, Treated Drinking Water).
