Service Tax on Immovable property (New Notificaton)


Notification No. 29/2012- Service Tax (New Delhi, the 20th June, 2012)


Under notification No. 29/2012 - Service Tax, the Central Government, on being satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to do, hereby exempts the taxable service of renting of an immovable property, from so much of the service tax leviable thereon under section 66B of the said Finance Act, as is in excess of the service tax calculated on a value which is equivalent to the gross amount charged for renting of such immovable property less taxes on such property, namely property tax levied and collected by local bodies:

Notes: 
1) Any amount such as interest, penalty paid to the local authority by the service provider on account of delayed payment of property tax or any other reasons shall not be treated as property tax for the purposes of deduction from the gross amount charged.
2) Wherever the period for which property tax paid is different from the period for which service tax is paid or payable, property tax proportionate to the period for which service tax is paid or payable shall be calculated and the amount so calculated shall be excluded from the gross amount charged for renting of the immovable property for the said period, for the purposes of levy of service tax.

Example:
Property tax paid for April to September (6 months) = Rs. 12,000/- i.e. Rs 2,000 per month
Rent received for April = Rs. 1, 00,000/-
Service tax payable for April = Rs. 98,000/- (1,00,000 - 2,000) * applicable rate of service tax

2. This notification shall come into force on the 1st day of July, 2012.

[F.No. 334 /01/2012- TRU]

ECB vs FCCB

This is in response to the queries I received on whether ECB or FCCB is more convenient/liberal/less regulated. For guidelines on each of them, please refer to the links attached in the respective articles. FCCB http://www.icai.org/icairoot/publications/complimentary/cajournal_nov05/703-708.pdf . ECB http://www.icai.org/icairoot/publications/complimentary/cajournal_may04/p1216-19.pdf As regards which is more convenient, it always depends on the company raising funds.

Reverse Mortgage in India

Imagine a situation where you grow old and have managed to buy a house. However, you could not save enough for your retirement. You certainly need money to manage your day to day finances since you are retired and have no fixed source of income or your income is not enough to meet your finances. Reverse Mortgage is the answer for you. Reverse Mortgage is a type of mortgage available to senior citizens in which a home-owner can borrow money against the value of his/her home. No repayment of the mortgage (principal or interest) is required until the borrower dies or the home is sold. After accounting for the initial mortgage amount, the rate at which interest accrues, the length of the loan and rate of home price appreciation, the transaction is structured so that the loan amount will not exceed the value of the home over the life of the loan.
