12 November 2011 Renting of immovable property is governed by provisions of section 65(105)(zzzz). Under this section renting of immoveable property is taxable if it is given for use in the course of or, for furtherance of , business or commerce. From the meaning of renting of immoveable property , inter alia, building used for solely for residential purposes has been excluded.

Therefore, service tax is not payable in your case.
