14 October 2012 If the foot wares are stored in a premises and rent is recoverable, then it is chargeable under House properity, provided that the company is not engaged in business of renting of premises for foot wares. And so far as concern to variable packing charges and both storage and variable packing charges are separately charged, variable packing charges will be chargeable under business income.
