if yes pl. tell the procedure

thanks

05 December 2012 Dear Tejas,

If individually their collection of rent exceeds Rs. 10 lakhs then they are liable to get themselves registered another wise they are not required to get them self registered.

Please refer the case of Smt. K.D. Chaudhary v. Commissioner of Service Tax, CESTAT , Ahmedabad Bench.

05 December 2012 but sir they won't get individual rent as they will get rent on the name of firm
and aggregate rent will exceed rs10 lacs

05 December 2012 Dear Tejas,

that is need to be check that how they distribute the proceeds among them... ask them for the copy of agreement... if they are recieving it in the name of firm then service tax shall become chargeable....

05 December 2012 yes sir they will receive the rent in the name of firm & after that they will equally distribute the profit

06 December 2012 Dear Tejas,

In this cas firm shall be considered as service provider, so Rs 10 lakh is applicable on firm. Therefore, they are liable to charge service tax.

However, if they want to save from service tax then enter into fresh agreement with service receiver and in that agreement show the amount of rent that each will receive, from this you can save the service tax.
