02 September 2009 the same property will be classified as business asset & rental income will be part of business income. There is no need to have the details of notional rental income. Account for actual rent received & claim the 100% interest benefit as business expenditure.

02 September 2009 Income from commercial complexes - Even in the case of commercial complexes, mere letting out the property and deriving income should be assessed only under the head â€˜Income from house properÂtyâ€™ and not under â€˜Income from businessâ€™. However, where the lease agreements provided that certain independent services are also covered apart from the letting of premises and a composite rent is received, the authorities should bifurcate the receipts into portion thereof which is attributable to the provision of such services and assess them under â€˜Income from businessâ€™ or â€˜Income from other sourcesâ€™. The remaining portion will be taxaÂble under â€˜Income from house propertyâ€™ - A.R. Complex v. ITO [2008] 167 Taxman 46 (Mad.).
