FRANCIS GEORGE <\/a>(<a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=IDUKKI\">IDUKKI<\/a>): The Union Budget for 2007-08 envisaged levy of service tax of 12.8% on income deriving from rental of immovable properties including buildings. In pursuance of this provision, the Central Excise Department now demands service tax from the Local Self Government Institutions in Kerala on the rent of buildings owned by them. Imposing of service tax on immovable properties, including buildings owned by the LSG institutions in Kerala would axe away a reasonable share of revenue of these bodies and thereby affect the capacity of the LSG institutions for meeting their obligatory developmental responsibilities. They have created the immovable assets by availing huge loans from institutions like HUDCO and KURDFC at high interest rates to generate income to meet its obligatory and developmental responsibilities and won&#8217;t be able to repay the loans regularly, if the rental incomes are taxed.\n<\/p>\n<p>As such, I request the Government to withdraw\/exempt the Local Self Government Institutions from the levy of service tax on the rent of buildings owned by them.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0   <\/p>\n<p>       \u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"marker_ref\" href=\"\/search\/?formInput=MR.%20SPEAKER\">MR.
