After passing of Finance Bill 2016, the rate of interest on late payment of service tax has been changed. Now, please guide at what rate of interest should i pay service tax to government. The service tax to be paid for the month of March 16 is Rs. 413070 and it has yet not been paid. From 31.3.16 to 13.5.16, the rate of interest to be taken is 18% but from 14.5.16 to 27.5.16 which rate of interest i should consider - 15% or 24%. I am bit confused with the interpretation. Please guide in this matter.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Experts,
We have received the services from service provider in the month of April and May 2016
Service provider has raised invoice to us on or before 31.05.2016. He has not mentioned the KKC in his invoice.
We are making his payment in month of June.2016. So what could be the impact of KKC on this case.
What could be the impact in RCM cases.?

Thanks

We are running a chain of restaurants and all our restaurants are on rental basis. In a single premises we are having both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned restaurant with clear demarcation. My question is our internal auditors are objecting that for air conditioned restaurant you are collecting service tax on abatement and for rent also to that proportion only you have to take input. Since Non air conditioned restaurants you are not collecting any service tax you are not eligible for input. My contention is, since both AC and NON AC restaurants will come under one company, I cannot segregate and also for the services the entire service tax paid is taken as input and the same rule is applicable for rent also. Kindly enlighten me.
