24 August 2013 It is calculated @ 18% p.a. for delay(i.e. actual no. of days) in period.
For example:
Service tax received/due on 18-July-13, so due date of payment is 05-Aug-2013(assuming non- e-payment)
And, assesse paid service tax on 11-Aug-2013
So interest on service tax shall be computed as follows:
S. tax amount X 18% X (11-5)/ 365
