09 August 2010 Section 43B attracts for provision for interest on service tax if not paid with in the stipulated time. However interest paid on service tax payment is an allowable expenditure as per section 37(1) of the income tax Act,1961.
The following case law may be relied even though delivered in the context of Sales tax interest.
