please go through my reply on the matter. u are liable to pay service tax only if the owner of the building is charging rent more than Rs. 10 lakhs per annum. furhter, you are liable to pay service tax, when the owner charges the same while collecting rent from you. it is not necessary whether you are a professional or not. main thing is that property is to be a commercial propery.
