we (FMCG Public Ltd. Co.) have let out a part of Godown to Bihar State Food Corporation on fixed Monthly rental. Pls. explain is this service is chargeable to service tax or not?
Kindly answer this query in view of Sec. 66D(d), Section 66(E) & other clause/notification/circulars.

As per Sec 66E i.e declared services the Renting of immovable property is taxable, at the same time as per Sec 66D(d) i.e negative list renting or leasing of vacant land with or without a structure incidental to its use.
If the renting is for storage of agricultural produce then it is not chargeable to Service tax.

It is not about overruling, When sec 66E is taxes the renting of immovable property, the negative list exempts for storage of agriculture produce under 66D(d)
