There are three concepts in GST for late payment.
- GST Late fees payment for not filing GST returns on time
- Interest for late payment of GST
- A Penalty by the department.
Let us see them one by one
1.GST Late Fees for GST Returns
a)How to Pay Late Fee in GST
GST late fees mean, an additional amount to be paid by the taxpayer to the government in addition to his tax liability. If you do not file your GST Returns on time you need to pay late fees. you may find the list below for late fees for various types of Returns under GST. The late fees for filing GST returns gets automatically calculated in GSTR 3B. This includes a late fee for gstr 1, GSTR 3B and other returns. You may find below gst late fees notification for its payment regarding.
Therefore if you do not file or miss to file any return before its due date, then the system will automatically calculate late fees for such a period. Also, you cannot modify these late fees. You must pay these fees and proceed for filing GSTR 3B.
b)GST Late Fees Calculator
You may see below our gst late fees calculator formula to calculate your GST late fees for the given period. You can use this goods and service tax late fees calculator to calculate gst late fees for nil return or with transactions. According to CGST section 47 every registered person who needs to file GST Returns must pay late return filing fees. These late fees are shown in the below table. Also, depending upon the type of return late fees vary. Therefore the basic formula to calculate late fee are as follows:
Let us take the example of GSTR 3 B Late filing fees
According to the above table, late fees for GSTR 3B for period July 2017 – September is waived off. Therefore you need to pay late fees from October 2017 onwards. Current late fees are Rs. 20/- per day(CGST=10/-+SGST=10/-) for nil returns and Rs. 50/- per day(CGST=25/- + SGST=25/-) for with records. However, the late fees can not be more than Rs. 10,000/- for a particular period of return. This is with a combination of CGST= 5000/- and SGST= 5000/-)
We assume that you have not filed Regular GSTR 3B Return for the month of October 2017 and now you are going to file it on 20th November 2018.
(Here you need to take the starting date as 21st November because the late date to file GSTR 3B for October 2017 was 20th November 2017. Therefore, late fees will be applicable from 21st November 2017)
Therefore the total number of days from 21st November to 19 November 2018 =363 days
( 363 days x Rs. 50/- per day) = 18150/-.
As your late fees calculated is more than Rs. 10,000/- you need to pay Rs. 10,000/- as late fees for filing GSTR 3B for the month of October 2017.
Similarly, you can apply the same formula for filing Nil return with Rs. 20/- per day instead of Rs. 50/- per day.
c)GST Late Fees Waiver Notification
The gst late fees waive off scheme is implemented by the government on various occasions. you may find below these gst late fees waiver scheme for particular return if any. Also, you may see the gst late fees waiver notification against the type of GST return.
2.Interest for Late Payment of Tax
GST late payment with interest means an additional amount to be paid by the taxpayers if he fails to make the GST payment while filing GSTR 3B. For eg., your tax liability for the month of September 2018 is 1 lakh rupees. you file a return on or before 20th October 2018. Later, in the month of November, you come to know that the actual liability in the month of September was Rs. 1.20 lakh. This may be because you forgot to include one tax invoice with a liability of Rs. 20 thousand.
Therefore you need to pay interest on the late payment of tax of Rs. 20,000/- from 21.10.2018 to 19.11.2018 = 28 days.
If you are still using the traditional method of invoicing then it’s time to switch to Online Invoice generation. The Zintego.com invoice generator has a powerful tool designed to simplify the invoicing process and eliminate the associated headaches. Thus, with its user-friendly interface and affordable pricing, it is the ultimate solution for anyone looking to streamline their invoicing tasks.
a)How to Calculate Interest for Late Payment of GST?
The current interest rate for gst late payment of tax is 18% per day. Therefore the formula is = (Rs. 20,000/- X 18) / 100 = 3600 per annum. Now calculate for 29 days = (3600 /365) x 29 = 286 /-. Therefore you need to pay Rs. 286/- as interest and Rs. 20,000/- as principal tax amount for making late GST payments.
Therefore you need to calculate interest on late payments as above and pay the government for making delays in payments.
b) GST Late Payment Interest Calculator
You may use our GST late payment interest calculator for free. This is an excel base interest calculator. you need to enter a number of days for interest calculation. Enter the principal tax amount you need to pay. Thereafter this utility will automatically calculate the total amount of interest you will have to pay.
You may download the Excel tool to calculate interest on the late payment of GST from the below link.
c) How to Calculate Interest for Reversal of Wrong Input Availed?
If you have availed wrong input tax credit under GST then you need to reverse it by paying Interest on it. Also, this is applicable even you availed excess ITC under Goods and Service Tax.
The current interest rate for reversing input tax credit is 24% per day. Therefore you need to pay interest for everyday delay from the date of its availing to the date of reversal. Let us see the calculation part.
Suppose you availed 1 lakh wrong ITC on 15.04.2018, which now you want to reverse. Let us assume that you are going to pay it on 20.11.2018. Now calculate the number of days from 15.04.2018 to 19.11.2018= 218 days.
First calculate interest for per Annum ( 1,00,000 x 24 )/ 100 = 24000 (365 days).
For 218 days it is = ( 24000/365) x 218 = 14334/- .
Therefore you need to pay Total (Rs.100,000/- + Rs.14334/-) = 114334/-

Interest on Gross Vs Net Tax Liability
The gross tax liability is without deducting the available input tax credit. Whereas the net tax availability is the balance tax liability after reducing the available input tax credit in the credit ledger.
In the case of Megha Engineering And Infrastructures Ltd, the high court held that as per the existing Section 50 of the CGST Act the interest is applicable to the Gross Tax liability. This is because the Input tax credit is in the air until the customer files the return and claim such credit.
Further, In the 39th GST Council meeting, it is decided to charge interest on net tax liability w.e.f 01.07.2017. In this regard, the 1st provision is inserted in subsection 1 of section 50 of CGST ACT 2017. However, this provision is brought into force w.e.f from 01.09.2020 only, vide Notification No. 63/2020–Central Tax dt.25.08.2020. Also, a press release is issued dt. 26.08.2020 stating the recoveries of past period will not be made. Thus, the taxpayers are worried that they will still get the notices for past period as the press release does not give the instructions to the officers to do so.
3)Penalty under GST
GST law reserves the right to impose a penalty in certain cases. However, these cases include confiscation of goods or conveyance while the movement of goods. Also, Confiscation of goods in warehouse go-down, other premises or e way bill issues.
Similarly, the department may issue a notice to you for not furnishing GST returns. If you still do not file your return within time in the notice, then it may charge a penalty for the late filing of gst return 3b and other returns.

Further, it states that the late fee is imposed to ensure that the taxpayers file the return on time and pay taxes on the amount collected from buyers and pay to the Government.
