Interest on delayed GST payment may be charged where returns are filed late despite payment of late fee.
Query about interest demanded despite tax paid on time; advisers distinguish late fee for delayed filing from interest for delayed tax payment. One adviser asks whether interest relates to the late fee. Another notes the system calculates late fee and treats the date of filing as the operative date for payment; therefore late filing leads to interest liability for delayed tax payment, even where late fee has been paid.
