Service tax query for students accomodation

Wanted to know that if I am taking residential property on rent and yearly rent is more then 10 lac.. So do I need to pay service tax? If the same property if I sub lease to college students for residential purpose for one year and I am charging rent less then 1000 per day then do I need to charge service tax from them? Please let me know ... Thanks

AS PER NEGATIVE LIST , RESIDENTIAL HOUSE LETOUT FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSE IS EXEMPT FROM SERVICE TAX.

Hi Kamlesh,

Renting of residential property is not covered under Revere charge. So, you dont have to pay service tax.

And if you are giving that property to college students for residential purpose, then it will not be known as renting so it will not be covered under negative list. But, as the (declared tariff) rent is less than Rs. 1000/-, it will be covered under Mega Exemptions vide notification no. 25/2012.

I hope your doubt is resolved.

dear sir,

If you are renting the residential property as per service tax it is include in negative list.
