A firm has defaulted to deposit its entire service tax liability for Q2 2015,i.e Rs.35000 was pendind to be paid & will payable on nov,2015.

Firm filed its return without showing its service tax turnover for service tax collected Rs.35000.

Now, can firm voluntarily deposit such defaulted amount with interest @ 15%(T.O-PY-28,lacs).

1.Do firm need to pay penalty to settle this default (without anyorder/letter from dept.)

2.How interest will be shown in revised return,how no of days to be computed

(can i take due of payment as 6th oct as due date since firm usually pays online)

3.Do firm need to quote notification/rule providing concession of 3% for small service providers in revised return.

Is penalty u/s 76 needs to be paid voluntary or only if it is raised by a demand notice.

 

you need to revise retrun & pay tax & interest accordingly. due date shall be taken as 5th only as one day given for online payment is grace day only. rest penalty can be paid voluntarily.

Penalty payable @ 1% pm on st or 100 rs per day which ever is higher subject to max 50% of tax.

Can we pay ST & Interest without penalty

Penalty is mandatory cant escape.

if you don't pay now, dept will recover this during audit. you cannot escape from interest or penalty.
