flag India's Chennai tax tribunal voids ₹56.84 lakh service tax claim against actor Rajinikanth, citing hotel use exemption.

flag The Chennai Bench of CESTAT has canceled a ₹56.84 lakh service tax demand against actor Rajinikanth, ruling that renting a building used primarily as a hotel is exempt from tax under the Finance Act, 1994. flag The tribunal found that ancillary services like restaurants and conference halls are integral to hotel operations, not separate commercial activities, and thus the property remains outside the taxable "renting of immovable property" category. flag The decision, based on Section 65(105)(zzzz), dismisses both the tax and penalties, affirming the exemption for properties used for hotel accommodation.
