According to Columbia Guide to Standard American English, 1993, "later" and "later on" are standard synonyms.

She`s coming later / later on this evening

However, "later on" seems to have a slightly more expansive tone than "later".

I would say they have the same usage, but usually only if you referring to the same day. Using later on as in later on this week/month/year is ok but less common.
