renting of immovable property

The renting of immovable property for business and commerce activity is taxable from 01.06.2007 vide notification No. 3/2007 dated 22.05.2007.

The property used for residential purpose does not fall in this ambit.

Dear Indudhar,

If you look at the definition of Immovable Property as per section 65 (105)(zzzz), it specifically excludes Vacant land solely used for Mining purposes. Hence, mining activities will not be under the purview of tax on Renting of Immovable Property.
