WHAT IS HOUSE PROPERTY?
The Income Tax Act classifies 'buildings and/or land appurtenant* thereto as *House Property'. Income derived from vacant plots of land is not charged under this head but under the head Income from other sources' or *business profits'.
ON WHOM IS TAX LEVIED?
The tax under this head is levied upon the owner, legal or beneficial and not upon the occupant. In case the assessee is not the owner but gets rent from sub-letting a property, the income will not be taxed as income from house property, but as income from other sources.
