I receive 45000 per month rent for a residential rental property which also includes 10000 of society maintenance charges. I pay maintenance for the society. Can I consider 35000 as rent for tax purposes and report it on my returns, or I need to report 45000? In the rental agreement it is specified that rent includes maintenance.
