Assuming commercial purposes - The liability of rental of IP is a subject matter of dispute on the reasoning that pure rent is not a servic eat all. You have Rs. 10 lakhs exemption for the same.
As far as machinery rent is concerned if the control and possession of the same is given to the cusomter/ client then it is subject matter of VATY and not liable to ST. If retianed then ST is applicable beyond the basic exemption of Rs. 10 lakhs subject to the conditions set out in not. 6/2005.
