13 March 2010 Dear Experts,

We are registered with Service tax under "Mangement, Maintenace or Repair Service" and we have a Annual turnover of Rs.50 Lakhs.

We have also rented a Appartment flat which is owned by our company for monthly rent of Rs.28665/-(Annual Rs.3.4 Lakhs)

My Questions are:-

1) Whether service tax is applicable on Rental income of letting flat

2)If yes, since when it is applicable

3)Under what head we should register with Service tax department

Kindly also note that we are not providing any additional service apart from letting the flat
