Leasehold Rights Transfer: No Service Tax on 99-Year Outright Sale, Not Renting Service per Deeds of Assignment.

October 20, 2023

Case Laws     Service Tax     AT

Permanent transfer of the lease hold rights - service of renting of immovable Property or not - It is observed that after the execution of Deeds of Assignment and permanent transfer of leasehold rights by the Appellant in favour of the Assignees, the Title of the land which has been assigned to the Appellant has also been transferred in the name of the said three parties and lands have already been mutated in the name of the respective parties. This is evident from the clarification issued by the DLLRO. Therefore, the transaction must be treated as 'sale of leasehold rights' and service tax would not be applicable on the outright transfer of rights for a period of 99 years. - AT
