09 September 2011 Income is taxable on due or accrual basis but in the instant case it seems the very purpose of cause to generate the rental income became non-existant due to the damage of property-will not arise the income whether due or to accure unless something contrarty is documented/agreemented to this effect. Income from this source will as such be NIL, but need to keep the same documented to substantiate the same lator on in a case demand/notice so arise.
