10 August 2009 On Bank intererst, Bank is not charging service tax. On bank charges, the bank is charging service tax and cenvat for that can be taken by reverse calculation provided either you have a circluar of bank mentioning that charges are inclusive of service tax or obtain a certificate from bank that service tax has been charged and deposited by bank.
