Service tax penalty

Queries 956 views 5 replies

Hi all,

I realized that I only paid a portion (less than 50%) of the service tax for my services in the month of Apriil. I am trying to pay the remainder in full. Does this mean I will have to pay Rs 200/day for the last 85 days (July 5th thru Sep 29)? in addition to the 18% interest in penalty on the unpaid taxes?

Appreciate any help. Thanks in advance 

This is quite urgent. 

-Rgds, Rajesh

Fine is not less than Rs.200 per day of default or 2% per month of tax due whichever is higher. Penalty does n't exceed the amount of tax and the interest rate is !3% not 18%.

If your Turnover in Preceding year is up to Rs. 60 Lac, the Interest rate will be applicable 15%.

enalty under Section 76 is reduced to Rs. 100 per day or 1% per month whichever is higher. As per proceedings of Circular No.137/167/2006-CX.4 dated 3.10.2007 If Interest is paid before the issuance of SCN Penalty u/s 76, 77 and 78 are treated to have been concluded.
