15 January 2013 In computing the Income from House Property any amount paid as Municipal tax should be allowed as deduction from House rent irrespective of the year for which it is concerned, in other words the amount actualy paid towards municipal tax will be allowed as deduction whether of the same year or of earlier years (Payment basis is followed.
