(b)the overpayment is a result of a land payment.

(3) Where a person is entitled to a repayment, the collecting authority must pay that person an additional amount by way of interest on the repayment at a rate which is the higher of—

(a)0.5% per annum; and

(b)a percentage per annum equal to the Bank of England base rate less one percentage point.
