year by averaging Treasury Tax and 

Loan (TT&L) investment rates for the 12-

percentage, for applicability effective 

each January 1. Quarterly revisions are 

made if the annual average, on a moving 

basis, changes by 2 percentage points. 

The rate for calendar year 2020 reflects 

the average investment rates for the 12- 

month period that ended September 30, 

2019. 

This percentage rate is used in 

assessing interest charges for 

outstanding debts owed to the 

Government, pursuant to the Debt 

Collection Act of 1982, as amended (31 

U.S.C. 3717). This rate is also used by

used in determining when agencies 

should pay purchase card invoices 

when the card issuer offers a rebate (see

that the applicable rate for calendar year 

2020 is 2.00 percent.
