24 January 2013 ASSESSMENT OF RENTAL INCOME FROM IMMOVABLE PROPERTY



No straitjacket formula can be devised to determine conclusively as to under which head income from immovable property should fall; all the relevant factors need to be necessarily looked into to decide the character of income; if the facts show that the assessee is doing a complex commercial activity by exploiting the immovable property, then the income would fall under the head “Profits and gains from business or profession”; if on the other hand, the assessee has simply let out the space and is earning the rental income, it would fall under the head ‘Income from house property’.



I was unable to find the case law, but this is what i found from taxmann's site.
