In service tax, there is no exemption on renting of immovable property on the basis of turnover of tenant. However, some exemptions are given on the nature of property and business of tenant. You have not clarified whether property under consideration is residential or commercial or agricultural. Further, nature of business of tenants is also not clarified. If this is the case of commercial properties rented to small businessmen, service tax will be liable.

ST applicability is for the service provider, who is having the turnover of more than 10 lakhs, and it is doesn't depend upon the customers (whether small or large customers).
For example: if u go to a restaurent he will charge ST on the services provided by him, not on small or large customers to him. Hope you understand what i want to convey to u.
In your query " he should collect ST on all the services provided by him subject to turnover limit and other provisions relating to renting of immovable property to various purposes"
