Interest on late payment of GST liability

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how interest is calculated on late GST payments. It explains that interest is generally applied to the net tax payable amount after considering available Input Tax Credit (ITC). However, if a Nil return is filed initially and later amended with sales, interest may be calculated on the gross GST liability for the period before the amendment.
