(b) Interest treated as tax. Interest prescribed under this Section on any tax, including tax withheld by an employer, or on any penalty, shall be deemed assessed upon the assessment of the tax or penalties to which such interest relates and shall be collected and paid on notice and demand in the same manner as tax. Any reference in this Act to the tax imposed by this Act shall be deemed also to refer to interest imposed by this Section on such tax.

(c) Exception as to estimated tax. This Section shall not apply to any failure to pay estimated tax required by Section 803.
