Interest on delayed payment of vat


This query is : Resolved 

18 February 2015 Respected sir,
One of the assessee is paying interest of delayed payment of VAT and debited this amount in his profit and loss account.
Now the AO want to disallow this interest at the time of assessment. Can he do so ?
Please guide….

18 February 2015 AO can't do so since such interest being a compensation for the money withheld and doesn't have the character of penalty.

Citation :- CIT Vs. H P State Forest Corporation reported in 320 ITR 170(HP).
