Do Heirs Pay Service Tax on Rent After Provider's Death? Seek Refunds for Overpayments. Check Tax Exemptions. A user inquired about the obligation to pay service tax after the death of a service provider, specifically regarding rent from immovable property. The rent received from June to September 2016 was 13 lakhs, and service tax was paid up to September. The user questioned whether service tax should continue to be paid after September, as the rent is now divided among three legal heirs. Responses suggested that each heir should consider individual tax exemptions and that the government cannot retain excess payments. It was advised to seek a refund for overpaid taxes and verify legal obligations based on the division of rent and service tax regulations. (AI Summary)
