Service tax

hello,

as you are saying that you are paying rent and landlord is charging service tax from you. it is the responsibilty of landlord to take registration under service tax and pay it and NOT YOU

DEAR RIDDHI SIR,

Thanks but my querry is still not fully answered. The landlord has registered for service tax and i got it that if we want to take the cenvat credit then we have to register else it is not required. but to calculate the limit of Rs. 10 Lacs which rent is to be considered? gross rent or the net rent i.e. after deducting tds and adding service tax. Also, the limit of Rs. 10 Laxs is to be considered every year ?

you do not have to take registration under service tax based on the rent paid by you .

it should be taken based on the value of services rendered by you.

And regarding which value to be taken in case of rent for service tax value computation for registering under service tax ,

it should the value on which you charge service tax for

eg if rent is              Rs 100

Service tax @ 15% Rs 15 

Total                       Rs 115

net to be paid after TDS 115-11.5=113.5

VAlue of service will be Rs 100

Hope this was helpful

DEAR RIDDHI SIR,

IF YOU DO NOT WANT  TO TAKE INPUTE CREDIT OF SERVICE TAX THAN YOU NOT NEED TO REGISTRATION OF SERIVVICE TAX .

IF YOU LANDLORD CHARGE BILL WITH SERIVICE TAX AND SHOW SPERATALY SERIVCE TAX AMOUNT IN INOVOICI THAN YOU SHOULD DEDUCTE TDS ONLY ON RENT AMOUNT  FOR EXAMPLE:

RENT CHARGE AMOUNT RS 100

ADD SERIVCE TAX AMT  RS 15 ( @ 15%)

TOTAL INVOICE AMT  TS 115 (100+15)

AS ABOVE SAID FORMAT OF INVOICE YOU SHOULD DEDUTE TDS ONLY RENT CHARGE AMOUNT ( RS100) AND THAN PAY BALANCE AMOUNT

BUT IF YOUR LANDLORD DO NOT SHOW SERVICE TAX SEPRATALY IN INVOICE FOR EXAMPLE

RENT CHARGE RS 115

THAN YOU SHOULD DEDUTE TDS ON AMOUNT RS 115

GOOD LUCK
