Dear Friends,

Pls.clarify my interest calculation on late payment of Service Tax

April 2012 service tax payable is planning to pay on 13th July 2012

I have given below my workings

5-MAY-2012 is due date and 13-July-2012 = 70 days (Incl of both days)

Hence , Amount payable x 70/365 x 18% = Tax Liability as on date.

Pls.confirm my workings.

It is correct except that you are liable to pay interest form 6th and not from 5th of the month.

CALCULATE INTEREST FOR 69 DAYS ONLY

thats correct but only for 69 days

Interest payable is from due date of payment. When due date lapses, then interest calculation starts from the next day.
Hence, 69 days.

Yes, Its correct

Dear members i am adding one more point in the given case

what will be the calculation if the party wants to pay electronically -whether  due date to to be considered after  6th may or 5th may? nd what will be total days?

Due date is still 5th but 1 day liberty is given for online payment. if u fail to deposit tax on time interest will be calculated from 6th not 7th.

while payment of interest for partcular Month, the interest part is to be include in service provided amt. or it needs to show seprate in challan..??

pls rly ASAP
