All services are not taxable. Only notified services are taxable.
So far renting Service is concerned, it is taxable(as per amendment by Finance Act, 2010), if used for the purpose of Business or Commerce by the tenant.
Specified Medical Services(not all) shall be taxable from a date to be notified, which is likely to be wef 01.09.10.
