Mukesh Katara says : Service Tax Penalty
Hi Good morning can u please Gide about Under section 76, the penalty 200 Rs. per day.. And maximum penalty of Rs. 2000 is applicable for the late filling of return .So my question is when started 200/-penalty when recd service tax notice or before notice..i am explain below I.e. Our Total service tax for the Qtr Apr'09 to Jun'09 is Rs. 8282 Our due date for Payment is 5/7/2009 but We pay the same on today 25/01/2010 so we r 204 days late. So the penalty will be 40800 (200*204) and the interest amount will be 6018 (29.50 interest per day so 204*29.50). And final payble is 82821(Service Tax) + 40800 (penalty) + 6018 (Interest) = 129639 It's right or wrong...please advise...and give me regarding penalty notification or judgment Thanx in advance
