03 July 2011 Mr. X, Director of Co. XYZ Pvt. Ltd. has made a simple rent agreement with the Landlord in his own name. But the place is utilized by the Co. Can the Co. claim the rent expense in its books of accounts? If no, then suggest some other way by which the rent expense can be claimed.

04 July 2011 The company can pay the rent directly to the landlord and claim the same as the business expenses as the premises is being used by the company. It is sufficient if the board resolution to this effect is taken and passed in the board meeting.

In case the rent exceeds the prescribed limit then the Company should deduct the TDS and deposit the same in the name of the Land Lord.
