Service tax on renting of commercial property

Queries 386 views 2 replies

 

One of my Client (Individual) has rented Commercial property :

Property 1: Receiving rent Rs. 60,000/- per month. i.e. 7,20,000/- per annum, as it was below the threshold limit of 10 Lakhs, Service Tax was not Levied.

Property 2: Now he bought another commercial property, which is being rented, the rent is expected to be Rs. 12 lacs per annum.

Q1. As the exemption limit will cross by 10 Lakhs, so Service tax will be applicable & he will have to do the ST Registration & levy Service tax @ revised rate of 12%. on this property, Is it correct?

Q2. What about the first property, will it be liable to Service Tax as well?

Looking forward for a positive response, Thanks.

As per definition aggregae of all the services provided(not individual ) exceeds 10 Lakhs. U have to apply compulsory registration and collect Service tax on both the commercial propoerty. If both the commercial properties are situated at different jurisdiction then you have to apply for separate registration for both the properties.

Yes as the aggregate limit of Rs. 10 lacs has been crossed you will have to pay service tax.

In the first year you will have to pay service tax on Rs. 1920000 - 1000000 = Rs. 920000

and in subsequent years pay service tax on the total amount of services provided i.e. Rs. 1920000.
