landlords whose rental receipts are above Rs 10 lakh will be required to pay service tax only after crossing receipts of Rs 10 Lakh..
Present rules, however, exempt renting of immovable property to educational institutions from service tax. Renting of residential property, regardless of the rental amount, is also exempt from service tax.
"taxable service" means any service provided or to be provided to any person, by any other person in relation to renting of immovable property for use in the course or furtherance of business or commerce.
TDS will be deducted {U/S 194-I} on the amount including service tax..
