Leased premises used as a hotel, though containing a restaurant, banquet and conference halls, bar and health club, qualify as a building used for accommodation and thus fall within the renting of immovable property exclusion; the Tribunal found those facilities to be integral or incidental to hotel activity rather than separate commercial deployments and held that Explanation 2 deeming partial business use is not attracted. Applying the plain-text exclusion and following prior coordinate-bench reasoning affirmed by higher authority, the impugned demand and orders were set aside with consequential relief.
