18 June 2010 We regularly pay service tax late because of financial problem. We paid service tax upto mar-10 with interest and after two days tax evasion officers sent us show cause notice, i want to know can in any way we are liable for penalty since we have already paid service tax before show cause notice? is there any provision for penalty under sec 73(4) under the given circumstances?

18 June 2010 Yes, Penalty will be applicable if an assessee faild to pay service tax within due date.
In addition to paying S.T. & Interest u/s 75, not less than Rs.200 for everyday during which the failure continues or penalty@2% of such tax, whichever is higher. However, the penalty shall not exceed the amount of S.T.that assessee has failed to pay
