30 June 2009 There is no notification to stop payment but in a recent decision of the High Court it was held that rent is not a payment for a service rendered and is therefore not liable to service tax,it is not clear if the department has appealed against this decision any payment made will be refunded by the department if the appeal fails in the SC
