09 February 2016 There are two services in your case of which service tax liability can arise;

1. Renting of Space by hospital to you

2. Restaurant Service provided by you to other people

As far as 1st Situation is concerned the Hospital liable to charge Service Tax from you @ 14.5% since there is no exemption available.

Further in second case i.e. restaurant service if there no air conditioning or heating system in the rented place you are also not required to charge service tax @ 5.8%.
