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.

Thanks for many reply. One more Question...
