Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of rent paid to unregistered individuals for business properties. For GST purposes, no RCM applies, and since the landlord is unregistered, no Input Tax Credit (ITC) can be claimed. Under Income Tax, rent is treated as a business expense, with TDS applicable if the annual rent exceeds the threshold limit. Renting residential property for residential use is exempt from GST, while business rentals attract 18% GST.
As land Lord is unregistered there will not be any ITC eligible under GsT and under income tax it would be an business expense to be chatged to P/L account.
When you rent out a residential property for residential purpose, it is exempt from GST. Any other type of lease or renting out of immovable property for business would attract GST at 18 %, as it would be treated as a supply of service. tds applicable if rent excess 240000 per annum.
