2017 (10) TMI 1190 - AT - Service TaxRenting of immovable property service - Revenue is of the view that as the appellants have collectively and jointly let out the property and total rent received on the property is more than the threshold limit as per the N/N. 06/2005-ST dt. 01.03.2005, therefore, the appellants are liable to pay Service Tax under the category of Renting of Immovable Property Services. Held that: - an identical issue came up before this Tribunal in the case of Anil Saini and Others Vs. CCE, Chandigarh-I [2017 (1) TMI 101 - CESTAT CHANDIGARH], where it was held that co-owners of the property cannot be considered as liable to pay Service Tax (jointly or severally) as the Revenue has identified the services provider and the service recipients for imposing the Service Tax liability which are individuals. Therefore, the Service Tax liability is not sustainable. The demand of Service Tax against the appellants is not sustainable as the appellants are entitled to benefit of N/N. 06/2005-ST dt. 01.03.2005 - appeal allowed - decided in favor of appellant.
