04 March 2010 If you have sublet some portion and receiving rent and the rent will exceed Rs. 10 Lakh, then you will be required to pay ST. So, from Rs. 10,00,001/- onwards its required to pay ST. Till then even ST registration is also not required. However, it is suggested to get registered under ST once rental income crosses Rs. 9 Lakh.

04 March 2010 Sir,

We are already registered under service tax act and paying service tax on other services like GOODS TRANSPORT BY ROAD.

My question is that whether This limit of Rs. 10 Lacs is for separate services or for aggregate of total services.

IF IT IS FOR AGGREGATE SERVICES VALUE IN THIS CASE ALSO MY COMPANY CAN GET BENEFIT OF THIS RS. 10 LACS LIMIT.

PLEASE REPLY
I AM WAITING
