Interest on delayed tax refunds accrues after the prescribed period; higher rate applies where refund follows final adjudication. If a tax refund ordered under the refund provisions is not made within sixty days of the refund application, interest accrues from the day after that period until refund at a government-notified rate not exceeding six percent; where the claim arises from a final adjudicatory or appellate or court order, a higher government-notified rate not exceeding nine percent applies for the same period. Appellate or court orders against an officer's refund order are deemed to be orders under the refund provision.
