06 June 2015 1. We have taken office on monthly rent basis for which the owner is charging rent Rs.2,00,000 and maintenance Rs.25000 per month separately.
2. We are paying service tax on rent. but is it required to pay service tax on maintenance charges or 25000/-p.m
3. If it is required, whether we have to pay under Reverse charge mechanism (what %) or we have to pay service tax to owner?

06 June 2015 The liability to charge service tax is with Owner of Property. There is no reverse charge for Maintenance Charges charges by Owner. You take the proper bills of Maintenance from Owner for documentation.
