hi sir,
please advice me that service tax is liable on local cartage. ( include cartage in bill & cartage paid to Transporter on same date but received from party on receiving date )

Dear Experts,
First I thank you very much for those who had cleared my doubts and answered well. Now, I am liable to an amount of Rs.25000/- as Service Tax, which is delayed for 9 days.

1) The interest to be paid for Rs.25000/- is @ 13% ?
or
2) Rs.200/- per day or interest @2% per month, which ever is higher.

May I know, which is the present rule for interest on delayed payment of Service tax please ?
