What rate of interest do I earn on my investment if the property is redeemed?

If your purchase is redeemed, the tax & costs portion of your original investment will earn simple interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. No interest will be paid on the surplus amount (amount bid over amount due). Any subsequent taxes that you will pay will earn simple interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.
