15 December 2008 The exemption limit for applicability of service tax is Rs. 10 lakhs.. if an entity's rental receipts exceed Rs. 8 lakhs, but however, if it receives rental income from tenant "A" an amount of only Rs. 8500; then wil that tenant be charged service tax on the rent paid by him???

kindly reply to this querry as soon as possible...the solution can be mailed to - fragrance13@gmail.com

1) As the total amount received from the taxable services has not exceeded the exemption limit. Hence, the service tax need not be charged from the tenant.
