Rent allowance eligible..

This discussion explains how to claim tax deductions for rent paid in the UK. If you receive House Rent Allowance (HRA) from your employer, you can claim a deduction under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act. For those not receiving HRA or who are self-employed, Section 80GG allows for rent deductions. The eligible amount is calculated based on the least of specific criteria, including actual rent paid and a percentage of your basic salary or adjusted total income.
