Yes, S/22 :

The taxability of Composite Rent can be well understandable by considering Two cases mentioned below:

Case1: Where total amount are inseparable

Where composite rent consists of rent for the building & hire charges for other assets & the two rents are inseparable, then the entire amount is chargeable under the “Business Income” or “Other Sources”, as case may be.

Case2: Where total amount are separable

Where composite rent consists of rent for the building & hire charges for other assets & the two rents are separable, then rent of the building is taxable under the head “Income from House Property” whereas hire charges of other assets is charged to tax under “Other Sources”.

Also, if the composite rent is the mixture of rent of the building & also includes service charges for some services, then the total amount is spilt into rent & service charges. Rent gets taxable under “House-Property” & Service charges under “Business Income.”
