Interest shall not be allowed on a refund of the City income tax resulting from a final determination of Federal tax liability.
(b) Interest and a penalty shall not be imposed for underestimating the tax if the total amount of tax withheld and paid by declaration equals at least seventy percent or more of the tax shown due on the final return or seventy percent or more of the tax shown on the taxpayer's return for the preceding taxable year.
(c) An employee shall not be penalized because of the failure of his or her employer to report or pay tax withheld from the employee when the employer has in fact withheld the proper amount of tax.
