26 April 2017 Company X is liable for service tax in addition to rent even nothing is mentioned in the agreement.
service tax is statutory liability. It is a tax which is required to be collected by the service provider from the person to whom service is provided and thereafter to be deposited with Government treasury within the prescribed time.
Thus essentially the statute is being imposing the tax upon the person to whom service is being provided and the service provider is merely a collecting agency.
