Your question relates to whether **leasing of house property to a nursing home** (providing healthcare services) is liable to **Service Tax**, and if so, under which provision. Let's clarify this step-by-step.
---
## 🔍 **Scenario (as of 2015)**:
* An individual (**assessee**) has **leased out a residential or commercial property** to a **nursing home**.
* The nursing home provides **healthcare services**, which are generally **exempt from service tax**.
* The question is whether the **rent received by the assessee is taxable under service tax laws**.
---
## ✅ **Answer**:
Yes, the **renting of immovable property for business or commercial purposes** (including to a nursing home) **is a taxable service**, and **service tax is applicable**.
### 📜 **Legal Basis:**
* As per **Section 65(105)(zzzz)** of the **Finance Act, 1994**:
> “Taxable service” includes **renting of immovable property for use in the course or furtherance of business or commerce**.
* The service tax was applicable on such **renting of property**, regardless of whether the lessee (here, the **nursing home**) is engaged in exempt activities (like healthcare).
---
### ❌ Exemption Does NOT Apply:
* Although **healthcare services themselves are exempt**, the **renting of the property** to a healthcare provider is **not exempt** — because the service being provided by the assessee is **“renting of immovable property,”** not healthcare.
---
### 💡 Who Pays the Tax?
* **Service tax is payable by the landlord (assessee)**.
* The landlord **may collect service tax** from the tenant (nursing home), as per contract terms.
---
### 🔗 **Reference Link to CBEC (Now CBIC) and Relevant Notification:**
Since CBEC has been restructured into **CBIC**, old links may not work. However, you can refer to archived versions or use this official government portal for verification:
* 🔗 [CBIC Service Tax Notifications Archive](https://taxinformation.cbic.gov.in/view-pdf/1009332/ENG/Notifications)
* ✅ Refer: **Section 65(105)(zzzz)** of Finance Act, 1994
* Also see: **Notification No. 24/2007-ST dated 22.05.2007**, and various CBEC circulars.
