The assessee is not liable to pay service tax. Note the following:

Business income: If the business is of dealing in goods then ST not applicable.

Salary: Excluded from the definition of Service.

Rental Income: Exemption can be availed.

Thanks.

rental income is exempt provided its for residential use. if it is used for commercial purpose then service tax is liable on it. if your business income is on account of providing of any service then it crosses the limit of 10 lakh accordingly you have to register and pay service tax on above
