Brief Facts:- Several writ petitions were filed with the Delhi High Court, questioning the legality, and validity of Notification No. 24 / 2007 –ST dated May 25, 2007 (which exempts from service tax, the taxes paid on property from the gross value charged for renting of immovable property) and Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) Circular No. 98/1/2008 – ST dated January 1, 2008 (which clarified that right to use immovable property is leviable to service tax). The petitions questioned the levy of service tax on renting out of immovable property per se since the taxable services contemplated under Section 65(105)(zzzz) of the Finance Act, 1994 (as amended) were services provided in relation to renting of immovable property.
