18%, 24% or 30% depends upon period of delay. In case of p'ship firm ST is to be paid on quarterly basis. If you did not pa ST by due date, interest will be charged from the due date till the date when we actually pay ST.

18% or 15% (as the case may be) simple interest upto 30.09.2014.
.
Variable interest rates will apply on/after 01.10.2014.

Sl. No.

Period of delay

Rate of simple interest

1.

Up to 6 months

18%

2.

More than 6 months and up to 1 year

 

18% for the first 6 months of delay, and

24% for the delay beyond 6 months

3.

More than 1 year

18% for the first 6 months of delay

24% for the period beyond 6 months up to 1 year, and

30% for any delay beyond 1 year

 .
As specified in the proviso to section 75, 3% concession on the applicable rate of interest will continue to be available to the small service providers, i.e. assessee having turnover not exceeding Rs. 60 lakhs during the preceding financial year or during any of the financial years covered by the notice.
.
Time limits have been prescribed on monthly basis whereas interest is required to be computed on per day basis.
.
If service tax became due after 01.10.2014, you may download this calculator (link).
.

Where service tax became due before 01.10.2014 and was paid after 01.10.2014, then see this example for clarity (link).
