I am receiving a rent Rs 1.00 lakh per month which is sharing equally myself and my wife. The property is in the joint name. The property has given letout for a software company. As per the latest provisions of service tax, the service tax will be levied on rentals. Please guide the service tax provisions, whether service tax applicable to this case? In case if required to pay service tax.. who has to pay the service tax i.e service provider or service receiver. Please clarify ?

Service tax is certainly payable individually on their individual share. In this case, it would be better to make saperate invoices from 7 co-owners and the company A "on" the person who had taken it on rent. Then Co A can add the service tax payable and claim it from the lessee. If this is not possible, and invoice for the rent is without addition of service tax, ( I) would ask the companyA to take half share which shall be deemed to have included the service tax at the applicabl;e rate.

Rs 800000 limit is for particular person in relation to all the receipts during the year. u are required to pay service when total receipts from all small tenants are more than 8 lacs in relation to single person. However for current year u may not be required to pay as service is notified from 01-06-2007 and dept cannot collect tax for period before which service is notifed.More over you will not in receipt of estimated Rs 960000 from june-07 to Mar-08 period Any how from next year u are required to pay service tax.
