Dear Sir,

One of my client is levying charges on cold storage, which he provides his customers for keeping their material. Does the charges levied by him amounts to rent. If yes, is he liable to get himself registered under Service Tax.

Is the position different if he gives the cold storage to one person only on fixed monthly rent.

Thanks

Significant composition of the income of the company is from rent of residential properties. Whether service tax levy is applicable - if yes, with effect from what date.

What is the company has not collected any service tax from the rent payers till date - would they have to pay the service tax from out of the rent amount collected earlier or can they attempt to proceed and charge the levy of earlier year service tax NOW?

Company has also been collecting from the occupants of its premises certain expense reimbursements in the nature of occupants' contribution towards property taxes, electricity and common repairs & maintenance, etc. Will these collections also be subject to levy of service tax even if in the nature of proportionate reimbursement contribution.

As per Delhi High Court rent on Immovable property held unconstitutional so we can not collect the Service tax from the tenant.
Later on in the Finance Bill the definition of Renting is amended and Immovable property renting is included in the Service tax net retrospectively from 1.6.2007.
So as of Now what is the status on Renting of Immovable Property as far as Service Tax is concerned?
Do we have to collect the Service and pay to the Government?

Can any body guide me on this matter.
Thanks in Advance

Dear Experts,

A builder in Noida is charging Service Tax @ 10.3% on Lease Rent from the buyers of his underconstruction RESIDENTIAL project. Views have come that Service Tax on Lease Rent (payable to Noida Authority) is leviable only on COMMERCIAL properties and not RESIDENTIAL projects and as such the said builder is wrong in charging ST on Lease Rent on buyers of residential flats.

As per my understanding the financial act 2010 , clearly means that service tax on lease rent is for those construction which
are commericial/future bussiness. The Finance act, 2010 has made the following important amendments relating to Renting of Immovable Property Service: (section 65 (105)(zzzz))

‘Renting’ activity itself regarded as taxable service (Retrospectively amended from 1 June, 2007) Renting of vacant land for construction of building /temporary
structure at later stage for furtherance of business or commerce regarded as taxable service.

As lease agreement is between Noida Authority and end user of a residential project in the area marked for Residential purpose only, no business or commerical angle comes in picture.

In this background, please advise if the builder is right or wrong in charging service tax on lease rent for undercontruction residential project in a specifically marked 'residential only' area.

whether Tol tax Collection (on roads/Bridges) comes within the preview of service tax , if yes:

1. What is the basic exemption limit

2. What rate is applicable

3. Under which section of the act.

Thank you.

I have opened a magazine and I am receiving advertisement receipts from my clients.
1.Do I need to add service tax on the bill amount.?
2. What is the exemption limit under service tax?
3. I am paying amount to a publisher for printing of magazine and he is charging service tax on the whole amount, Can I claim that service tax?
4. My client is deducting TDS on whole amount of bill. After adding service tax will they deduct TDS on whole amount or only on Taxable amount before service tax?

Thanks

A service provider give his immovable property to B on fixed rent per month besides rent in the agreement executed between the A & B there is also one clause that A will provide the two Security person to B and B will reimburse to A on cost recovery basis i. e. actual amount paid by A to security agency.
Please clarify whether A should also charge service tax from B on the security bill or here A will be treated as the pure agent of B and not charge the service tax on security bill under Rule 5(2) of Determination of value rules, 2006
Thanks in Advance for giving the reply with reasoning
