the interest paid on delayed payment of sales tax is allowed being compensatory in nature however interest paid on taxes other than income tax,fbt,stt shall not be allowed if such penalty is imposed by act for the violation of any provisions of the act. hence in nutshell what determines the allowability of penal interest is the nature of penalty.
