A company has given a commercial property on rent. As per ther terms of the agreement the tenent is required to reimbursh actual electricity and maintenace which the compnay are paying to the Owners association.
Please let me know whether the service tax will be applicable on the reimburshment of charges. Please also state the provisions and/or notificate in support of your answer.
Thanks
1. There is no Service tax on rent and it was withdrawn propably last year.
2. When we reimburse any amount to any body we no need to pay service tax since it is purely a reimbusrement in nature.
3. Regarding the notification i will update soon

Please refer Finance Bill 2010 where the amendement has been given for sec 65 (105)(zzzz) and section 76. Rent is now liable for service tax with retrospective effect 01.06.2007.
Dear Oblirajan R for your knowl. rent on commercial property further taxable as service by Budget 2010-11 with retro. 1-06-2007.
So Mr. Manoj rent is taxable present time, but reimb. expe. is taxable if such expe. directly releted to service e.g. in case of consultancy service traveling exp. of cosultant/employee of consu. is taxable as service
But in your case reimbursh actual electricity and maintenace expe. are not taxable.
