Tax queries 298 views 5 replies

Husband and wife have a joint property in Chennai. Property has 5 flats. They are receiving rental income from all 5 flats. Can husband show rental income for 3 flats and can wife show rental income from 2 flasts for income tax purpose? Cos, 3 tenants transferring rent to husband account and 2 tenants transferring rent to wife account.

Or they have to add rental income of all 5flats and share at 50:50?

Just declare 50:50 shares and rental income from each flats individually.

No need to share actual rent received,  equally.

If we show rental income of 3 flats for husband and 2 flats for wife, Is it right as per income tax act? 

When both are equal owners in the property, how can you divide rent unequally?

If noticed by ITO. there will be query for unequal division of rent...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR. I AM SATISFIED WITH YOUR ANSWER. THANK YOU SIR.

You are welcome.
