A very recent judgement of the Delhi High Court holding that renting of immovable property is not service is now of great importance since it will set precedence for other services to get similar judgment that they are not service.
Section 65(105)(zzzz) of Finance Act 1994 reads "to any person, by any other person in relation to renting of immovable property for use in the course or furtherance of business or commerce". The High Court has held that service tax is value-added tax and since there is … (0 comments)
