Service Tax on Rental Properties_Urgent

This query is : Resolved 

11 May 2009 Dear Sir,
I am from Mumbai and need your advice on Service Tax Matter:
The Delhi high court has ordered that service tax on rent of Immovable property is unconstitutional. And the same is pending in Supreme Court.

So till the Supreme Court gives order what we have to do: - Should we collect the ST from the tenant or not to collect.
If we opt for later option and Supreme Court gives contradictory order then can we collect the service tax waived from the tenant?

Thanks in advance.

11 May 2009 Move a writ and an OP in the jurisdictional high court based on delhi decision and act accordingly.

11 May 2009 Alternatively, You may choose not to collect service tax on such services and be ready for the long drawn legal battle with the department. However, your chacnces of winning ther case would be high based upon the Delhi HC order and the Decesion of SC if it is in favour.
