Deemed rent on house property

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores how to determine the deemed rental value of a house property, particularly when it's located in a remote village and is unfit for habitation, potentially leading to a nil rental value. While the Income Tax authority may argue against a nil ratable value, advice suggests that even uninhabitable properties have a ratable value. The conversation also touches upon the tax implications of designating properties as self-occupied versus deemed let-out.

Taxpayers can designate any two of their house properties as self-occupied, meaning they will not incur any tax on these properties. While additional properties are deemed let-out and taxed based on notional rental income
