Are Lawyer fees and Court fees deductible from Taxable Income?

Tax queries 1538 views 4 replies

Hello -
Are Lawyer fees and Court fees deductible from Taxable Income? I spent about Rs.75000 as court fees and Rs.25000 as lawyer fees from my personal savings. This is property related expense - to get legal heirship from the court (as there was no will).
Please advice.

Thank you.

Only Business related expenses are allowed
. Is this property stands in your Balance sheet ?.

If it's for private / personal property, then you can include it in the cost of acquisition when / if you sell it and calculate your capital gains.

But generally there will be no immediate deduction for the current tax year.

This is my personal flat (home). Not business related.
