Interest on short paid duty applies for the period between debit and credit based on the outstanding liability.
Duty is deemed discharged only when the amount is credited to the Government account by the specified date; outstanding duty attracts interest for the period it remains unpaid. Interest is computed by reference to the timing between PLA debits and subsequent net banking credits: in the first scenario interest was stated for ten days on the outstanding amount between the initial PLA debit and the credit date; in the second scenario interest was stated on the entire liability for the full intervening period.
