If it is first year of providing service, he need not issue bill for collection of Service Tax.But he can issue Bill for rent without mentioning Service Tax element. After crossing the exemption limit, he may or may not issue bill with Service Tax element but Service Tax has to be paid on the gross amount received considering the amount received is inclusive of Service Tax. So it is better to issue bill with Service Tax amount shown separately after crossing the exemption limit of Rs.10 Lakhs. Once exemption limit crosses, no exemption is available in the following financial year.
