18 July 2012 Dear .....,

The service tax regime has been changed in entirety now. There is no more category of taxable services provided under section 65(105) of the finance act. The same section has been omitted by the Finance Act, 2012.
Hereinafter, all the services which are rendered for a consideration except mentioned in the negative list and mega exemption list.

Therefore, renting of immovable property is liable for service tax as mentioned in the declared services.

Service tax is equally applicable to advocate. Also, reverse charge mechanism is also applicable to them.
