I own a farm site admeasuring half an acre in krishnagiri district in tamilnadu in a gated community - the promoter is taking care of the maintenance - in that he organize drip irrigation, weeding, manuring and cleaning of plot and I pay annual charges of rs.18000/- - now they are demanding service tax at 16% on the maintenance charges - as far I know the service tax is applicable where the monthly payment exceeds rs.5000/- - please guide me and advise whether it is in order to collect service tax in this case - thanks
