Dear Friends,

Pls.clarify my interest calculation on late payment of Service Tax

April 2012 service tax payable is planning to pay on 13th July 2012

I have given below my workings

5-MAY-2012 is due date and 13-July-2012 = 70 days (Incl of both days)

Hence , Amount payable x 70/365 x 18% = Tax Liability as on date.

Pls.confirm my workings.
