Draft reply to Section 50(1) of GST Act for Interest payment

March 5, 2020 7278 Views 1 comment Print

Again in Sec. 50(1), the word used ‘Tax’ and not ‘Total Tax Liability’, so interest should be calculated on net tax amount which is to be paid in cash. So it is quiet crystal clear that the intention of the legislature is to levy interest only on the Tax amount [arriving after claiming Input Tax Credit from Output Tax liability ] which is to be paid in cash through NEFT etc mode.
