Does rental earnings received from letting out of a residential building needs to be included in rental earnings from commercial letting while calculation of Basic exemption limit for service tax exemption?
Say, for example, Mr X receives Rs 864000 annually as rental income by way of letting out his commercial shop and Rs 324000 annually from renting out a residential property. Now, whether he is liable to pay service tax as his total rental receipts are more than 10 lac?
