06 July 2010 The Service Tax Paid on services is an allowable exp as per sec 37(1).

The service tax paid by the assessee will never form part of the P&L a/c as it is just collected & deposited - so it just is a BS item.

However the int for late deposit of Service tax will be allowed if it is of compensatory nature otherwise not. also penalty will always b disallowed

Any Int/ penalty under Direct tax laws is not allowed - hence int on TDS not allowed.

Further interest paid under indirect tax is allowable but not for interest paid on direct taxes.
