On 1 July 2014, the Federal Tax Court (BFH) confirmed that the 0.5% monthly interest rate that is applied on tax refunds/payments does not violate German constitutional principles. The taxpayer argued that the interest rate imposed on him while the tax payment was suspended during a court proceeding is not in line with economic reality and that the legislator should be required to adjust the rate to (lower) market rates.
