Sir., Though u are a charitable trust registered under sec 12A, as you are the service receiver., you are liable to pay the service tax., which is raised by your landlord. and there are no perticular sections., as in the negative list it is not excluded

@Bhargav...whether there is any amendment in july...Because lanlord is saying that because of notification/circular he is charging service tax and gaurav we are provide tax free services...?

As though there is no amendment in the law regarding this., but the society is awakening from the 1.7.2012 point as it says the negative list., the landlord will be liable to service tax even before 1.7.2012
