I know policies like that exist, but generally people are actually aware of the policy. I was actually surprised when I went on the portal and saw the due date was November 28th, but I decided to go off of what the tax portal expressly said rather than assume interest would start accruing from the beginning of the month.

I did email them. Valerie Forester responded and said that the system is correct, that the due date was November 28th, but because the payment wasn't received by then, the interest accrual date reverted back to November 1st. I don't understand how anyone was supposed to know that, and given that their website expressly states that there's a 10 day grace period on payment, this seems a little predatory.
