(a) Errors and delays.--In the case of any underpayment, the local taxing authority may abate all or any part of interest for any period for the following:

(1) Any underpayment or tax finally determined to be due attributable in whole or in part to any error or delay by the local taxing authority in the performance of a ministerial act. For purposes of this paragraph, an error or delay shall be taken into account only if no significant aspect of the error or delay can be attributed to the taxpayer and after the local taxing authority has contacted the taxpayer in writing with respect to the underpayment of tax finally determined to be due or payable.

(2) Any payment of a tax to the extent that any error or delay in the payment is attributable to an officer, employee or agent of the local taxing authority being erroneous or dilatory in performance of a ministerial act. The local taxing authority shall determine what constitutes timely performance of ministerial acts performed under this subchapter.
