Dear Kalaikovan,
With effect from 01.04.2011 Maximum fees for late filing of Service Tax Returns has been increased to Rs.20000/-.
In my opinion, if the return is filed voluntarily, the number of days of delay are to be calculated from due date of filing the return to the date of actual filing of return.
If the fact of not filing the return in time was pointed out by the assessing office, he can levy a penalty upto Rs.10000.
I cannt' find the accounting code for penalty in e-payment of Service Tax. How do remit the penalty?
Thanks
As per my knowledge accounting code for Interest & penalty is common. Follow the link below:
