11 December 2008 Your question is not clear. Presumably what you want to know is that whether a Goverment body is required to pay service tax on the building occupied by it. Here the provider is private person and recipient is Govt. In my opinion there is no exemption available under Renting of Immovable Property service to Govt.

28 May 2009 Renting of immovable property is taxable only if it is occupied for furtherance of business or commerce. Since Government Department is not doing any business, tax is not applicable, in my opinion.
