Service Tax would be
applicable even if the
service provided is used
for any purpose not
necessarily business or
commerce.

Construction of Complex service & Commercial or industrial construction service

Unless the entire consideration for the property is paid after
the completion of construction (i.e after issuance of completion
certi cate by the respective authority), the activity of
construction would be deemed to be a taxable service.

Thankur Sahab Please find below Direct Tax Amendment relating to TDS on Rent

The most important amendment is
Increase of Threshold limit from 120000 to 180000 means if total rent paid in a year is 180000 or less no need of TDS deduction

Second is relaxation that rent paid will be allowed if TDS on it deducted and paid on or before due date of filing return of income u/s 139(1)

Thanku Sahan below is Service tax Proposal Highlights

The definition of “Renting of Immovable Property Service” is being amended with retrospective effect from 1st June, 2007

What is “Renting of Immovable Property Service”

Section 65(105)(zzzz) - The definition of “Renting of immovable
property” provides explicitly that the activity of ‘renting’ itself is a taxable service. This change
is being given retrospective effect
from 1st June, 2007.

Accordingly, the landlord will now be covered under the new definition w.e.f. 1st June, 2007 irrespective of the Delhi high court judgment in the case of
Home Solutions Retail India Ltd.
