Primary & secondary education cess on interest & penalty


This query is : Resolved 

08 January 2014 Dear Sir,

I would like to know whether Cess of 2% & 1% is applicable on Interest for delayed payment of Service Tax & Penalty for delayed payment of Service Tax.

Further when i make the online payment in the website there are codes for cess specifically mentioned for Interest & Penalty.

Please share your expertise at the earliest.

08 January 2014 Dear friend,

1. No cess is payable for interest and penalty.

2. If the amount of interest and penalty is pertaining to E Cess or S HE Cess, then such interest and penalty is to be deposited in the corresponding accounting codes.

08 January 2014 Thanks for your proactive reply.

I am confused with point 2. Please elaborate.

For better understanding let me take an example.

Period from 1-1-13 to 31-3-13.
Service Tax Liability(12%) is 1794.
Cess @ 2% is 36 (1794*2%)
Cess @ 1% is 18 (1794*1%)
Total is 1848 (1794+36+18)

Interest @ 15% for delayed payment upto January is 231 (1848*15%)

Penalty is 1040 (restricted to 50% of tax payable ie, 1848+231*50%)

Please clarify whether cess @ 2% & 1% is to be computed on interest & penalty.

20 January 2014 Dear friend,
