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.

Thanks

21 October 2009 Service tax rate is 10.3 %

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.
