Interest payable on any late or underpayment of tax seeks to protect the present value of the tax amount to the government budget, whereas penalties are intended to deter taxpayers from defaulting on their tax obligations-and to punish them if they do-to achieve horizontal equity vis-a-vis compliant taxpayers.
