We have to pay service tax for FY2008-09. How we have to calculate interest? It is to be calculated @18% i.e. present rate from 2008-09 till date or rate of interest applicable for respective years?
please guide whether to apply present interest rate 18% or different interest rates for different years?

upto 31.3.2011 interest will be 13% and after 31.3.2011 18%.

is there any clarification in this regard? We have to pay interest under audit conducted by service tax department. Is it makes any difference?

It is irrelevant for making payment of interest, that you are paying interest by your own assessment or after pointing out by department. you have to pay interest as per applicable rate for the relevant period, here up to 31.03.2011 @ 13% from 01.04.2011 to date of payment @18%.
