Interest, or any other amount determined by reference to such interest, is compounded daily.

(b) The underpayment rate of interest is set by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance pursuant to the provisions of subdivision 26 of section 171 of the Tax Law. Such rate will apply to the tax or any portion thereof that remains or becomes due on or after the date on which such rate becomes effective and applies only for the period during which such rate is in effect. For information regarding the underpayment rate of interest, see Part 2393 of this Title.
