17 July 2012 1. Renting of immovable property i.e. shop is covered under ambit of service tax.
2. The income from renting of shop can be shown under business income provided you satisfy certain conditions and the agreement is prepared accordingly.

17 July 2012 For your first question, the threshold exemption of 10 lacs can be availed for this commercial rental income also. Moreover, any municipal taxes paid on the said property can be deducted proportionately when you start paying service tax after reaching 10 lacs.
