09 October 2009 no, It cant be charged now. If paid, it can be claimed as refund of service tax paid.

09 October 2009 Agree with expert.
Aftter judgement of high court it is unconstitutional if ST is charged on the rent of Commercial property.

And if already paid then can be claimed as refund.

09 October 2009 Dear experts

Even i am with nazir, since there is no notification on wht basis we can say to the vendor not to charge service and we can take refund??
and also as my knowledge goes, CBEC has went to Supreme court.

09 October 2009 As per the constitution the supreme court is the final authority, the high court decission can be reversed in supreme court. There are many instances where it has happened. Therefore it is advisiable to claim from the tenant and pay to the department and when the supreme court decides in favour at that time you can claim refund. Even if your tenat is not paying you raise the bill alongiwth service tax. Otherwise tommmorow you cannnot recover the same by filing a civil suit.
