29 January 2015 hi sir,

what is the service tax interest rate and penalty also how should i calculate this whole

29 January 2015 Vide Notification No 12/2014-ST dated 11.7.2014, rate of interest to be charged on delayed payment of service tax has been enhanced w.e.f. 1.10.2014, based on period of delay. Thus, longer the delay period , higher would be the rate of interest payable.
# Up to six months - 18% p.a.
# Beyond six months to one year - 18% p.a. for the first six months of delay; 24% p.a. for delay beyond six months.
# Beyond one year - 18% p.a. for the first six months of delay; 24% p.a. for period beyond six months up to one year; 30% p.a. for any delay beyond one year.

If turnover during preceding FY did no exceed Rs 60 Lacs then there will be a concession of 3% and interest rate will be reduced from 18% p.a. to 15% p.a.

29 January 2015 Remember you need to calculate interest on days basis for delay period which is from the due date of payment till the date of actual payment. Please check out the "Service Tax Late Payment Interest Calculator wef 01/10/2014" from link given below:

29 January 2015 Penalty for Delay in filing Service Tax Return

# Delay of first 15 days then penalty will be Rs. 500
# Delay of 15 to 30 days then penalty will be # Rs. 1000
# Delay is more than 30 days then penalty will be Rs 1000+100 Rs. per day beyond 30 days, Subject to maximum penalty can be Rs. 20000/-
