May. 09- Service Tax (with Cess) due Rs.14,693/-
June. 09- Service Tax (with Cess) due Rs.28,946/-
Please support, thanks.
Service tax is payable on quarterly basis and interest would be charged @ 13% p.a. along with penalty comprising to Rs. 2000 (maximum).........
Under section 76, the penalty will not be less then 200 Rs. per day.. And maximum penalty of Rs. 2000 is applicable for the late filling of return not for the late payment of Service Tax.
I.e. your Total service tax for the Qtr Apr'09 to Jun'09 is Rs. 82821
Your due date for Payment is 5/7/2009 but you pay the same on today 25/01/2010 so u r 204 days late. So the penalty will be 40800 (200*204) and the interest amount will be 6018 (29.50 interest per day so 204*29.50).
And final payble is 82821(Service Tax) + 40800 (penalty) + 6018 (Interest) = 129639
sir there is private limited company then how we calculate interest
Service Tax payment would be made on monthly basis in case of companies and quarterly in case of other assessees.......
Remaining provisions are same in this regard........... e.g. registration procedure, service tax return filing, provisional basis (Form ST-3A) etc..........
