Interest on service tax

Dear Madam,

Service tax liability for the month of Feb cannot be adjusted with the excess amount of cenvat credit you have in the month of march after adjusting this month's liability.

Further, No of days for the calculation of Interest is "the No. of days from the due date till the date of actual payment".

Regards,

Pinky Agarwal..

HI,

Cenvat Credit of Mar Month cannot be adjusted with that of Feb Month. The same has to be paid alongwith interest @ 18% w.e.f. 01.04.2011 (If turnover < 60L, then interest is 15%). Days to be calculated from due date till date of actual payment.

Thanks....

Now if there is liability regarding feb 2011 and it will be paid now so which interest rate will be taken for calculation of interest 13% or 18%. as interest rate of 18% is effective  from 01/04/2011.

Two rates. Up to 31-03-2011 13% and from 01-04-2011 18%.( 15% if preceding year gross value is less than Rs.60L)
