Nullum beneficium (est) impunitum

“Nullum beneficium (est) impunitum” seems widely accepted to translate from “No good deed goes unpunished”.

Can I assume the Latin translation is good?…and is it better with the “est” or without? (The phrase appears commonly both with & without).

Many thanks all :)

This also has a proverbial sound:

nullum beneficium sine poena.

No kindness without a penalty.

I see this has already been noticed here.
