Service Tax Liability: Renting Commercial Property Not Under Reverse Charge; Provider Pays Tax, SSI Exemption Possible. A user inquired about the liability for service tax on renting a commercial property while providing works contract services under reverse charge mechanism (RCM), paying a monthly rent of 15,000 without claiming any service tax credit. The response clarified that renting of immovable property is not covered under reverse charge notification, meaning the service recipient is not liable to pay the tax. Instead, the service provider is responsible for the tax payment, subject to Small Scale Industry (SSI) exemption. (AI Summary)
