06 May 2011 Thanks sir,
But they say that rent received during the year has crossed Rs.10 lakhs and you need to pay Service tax on whole amount received during the year. They also say that in service tax there is no provision for excluding the arrears of rent. is it right?
There argument is that rent received (Current year & arrears) exceeded the limit so pay. If there is any case law please provide me.
