Dear Expert Can you pls let me know the rates & rules regarding service tax on rent - commercial establishment. What is the rate of service tax ? When is this required to be paid? website where I can have more info? E-filing FAQs? Is there a limit on the amount of rent? Pls clarify.
To be paid within 5th of the following month in which u have received the rent.
However Delhi High Court ruled that service tax can't be charged on rent of commercial premises. Although the same is now sub judice and as far I know there is no verdict till date from Supreme Court.
