Service tax on rent of immovable property


This query is : Resolved 

(Querist)
05 November 2012 we have given our two different immovable properties on rent to two different parties, we are collecting rent them @ 100000/- p.m. and 15000/- p.m. from 1/4/2012.

When we will become liable to pay service tax and from when we shall also collect the same from the tenants?

If in Previous Year you have not provided taxable value of Rs. 10 lac you are not required to charge Service Tax till you collect Rs.10 lacs.

Post 10 lacs you are required to charged ST on Rent amt p.m. less Muncipal Raxes pm.

05 November 2012 Dear Vaibhav,

By referring the same, the total collection of rent is exceeding Rs. 10 lacs by december month by Rs. 35000/-.

Now at this point i am confused about, the collecting of the service tax from the tenant in December month on Rs. 100000/- & Rs. 15000/-, while the taxable amount is coming only 35000/-?

05 November 2012 No you have to charge on 35k only.
Just mention on your invoice the amount on which you charged ST.
