07 November 2008 I have a Rental Income of Rs.15 lakhs. From one tenant it is Rs.12 lakhs and from the second tenant it is Rs.3 lakhs. So service tax is to be paid on Rs. 12 lakhs or Rs.15 lakhs. The second tenant is not ready to pay service tax as his rent is only 3 lakhs.Plz explain whether service tax is to be paid on full amount or only on Rs.12 lakhs.

Thanks.
