16 November 2019 Sir
Late fee deposited is in nature of penalty and can’t be claimed as an expense. On the other hand interest paid under GST is allowed. Intt on TDS is generally not allowed as an expenditure however few tribunals have upheld that intt on TDS can also be claimed as an expenditure, however one should add it back in computation to avoid protracted litigation.

16 November 2019 Late fees is not nomenclatures as penalty in gst law. Penalty is something which is a fine for non compliance. Though late fees logically must also fall in the same category since the Govt. itself is not treating as penalty in view of requirement of show cause notice etc. and the system itself demands late fees in gst returns, in my opinion late fees is allowable as an expenditure.
