Property 3
This is freehold warehouse that is let out unfurnished. The property was let from 6 April 18 to 31 Jan 19 at monthly rent of 580. On 31 Jan 18 tenent left owing 3 months rent. leticia recovered 2 months of outstanding rent by retaining tenants security deposit but was unable to recover the balance.
Calculate rental income for leticia for 18/19
Sir here in solution they have multiplied 580 by 9 in order to calculate rental income, I dont understand why they have multiplied by 9? Also as we know that for individual basis of assesment of property income is cash basis, and the fiscal year for cash is 6 april 18 to 5 april 19
November 14, 2019 at 8:55 am #552570I will need to see the exact wording of the question and the answer to be able to assist you with this
November 18, 2019 at 10:35 pm #553036Leticia owns the following property which is let out. The following info relates to tax year 18/19

On 1 march 19 a new tenant paid leticia security deposit of 1200 being 2 months rent, although new tenancy did not commence until 15 April 19
Other expenditure for tax year 18/19 amounted to 3000 and this is all allowable

Calculate property income
November 18, 2019 at 10:37 pm #553037In the entire solution what I don’t understand is that why they have multiplied 580 by 9 in order to calculate rental income? I mean why 9 months?
November 21, 2019 at 1:03 am #553238In the absence of the question stating the date when the rents were received the 9 months would be based on:
10 months were due to 31 January but 3 months were unpaid = 7 months received plus 2 months taken as rent from security deposit = 9 monthsNovember 21, 2019 at 9:00 pm #553336Ok , but still 1 thing which confuses me in property income is that as we know the basis of assesment for individual is cash basis by default. And the actual fiscal year is from 6 april 18 to 5 april 19, so here as you said that 10 months were due to 31 January, but according to the actual fiscal year , should not the 10 month be due to 6 Feb?
November 22, 2019 at 1:17 am #553359As I said in my previous reply – “In the absence of the question stating the date when the rents were received”.
The 31 January or 6 February are irrelevant anyway as the last 3 months of rent were NOT received!
November 22, 2019 at 9:36 pm #553478Ok , Sir if generally if there is a freehold warehouse that is let out unfurnished and the property was let from 6 April 18 to 31 Jan 19 at monthly rent of 580. Only this much question
So now in order to calculate rental income for 18/19 on cash basis, we will consider April as an entire month? Won’t we apportion April (i,e 25/30 )?November 24, 2019 at 1:38 am #553557NO! As I keep on saying the question must tell you the date the rent is actually received – it will be RECEIVED on a single day! In income tax we will never time apportion 25/30 on rental income.
