This query is : Resolved 

(Querist)
04 March 2008 Two individuals assessees(husband & Wife) having two separate service tax registration, jointly own a commercial property, which has been let out.

Can they save service tax by forming partnership. if yes, should partnership deed be executed before construction of property or can it be signed after construction of property?

Both the assessees are service tax payers in their proprietorship business thus limit of 8,00,000/- in each case has already been crossed. Rental income is 2,40,000/- jointly. I could not understand the last statement in Mr. Dayal's reply. Please explain

Please explain.

04 March 2008 A partnership deed will have to be formed prior to letting out / construction of property.

a new registration in the name of partnership firm will have to be taken and existing to be surrendered

But if the rental income is lower than 10 lacs for each of you, you may continue under independant registration
