Relating to the computation of certain tax penalties and interest amounts.

HB 3994 modifies Texas tax code provisions to change how penalties and interest are calculated on overdue taxes. It allows taxpayers to reduce the penalty and interest amount by deducting overpayments made for the same tax period or prior periods. The changes apply to sections covering penalties (111.061), interest on delinquent taxes (111.060), and refund interest (111.064). This directly affects taxpayers who have overpaid taxes, as it lowers the amount subject to penalties and interest charges.
