Tax Rules Clarify Benefits on Co-Owned Properties and Spousal Gifted Assets
Recent rulings clarify tax rules for co-owned properties and gifted assets between spouses. Tax benefits on jointly owned houses depend on the actual financial contribution of each co-owner, not just ownership share, as affirmed by a Mumbai tribunal. Additionally, income from assets gifted without adequate consideration to a spouse may be taxed in the transferor's hands under clubbing provisions, requiring proper reporting in income tax returns to prevent tax avoidance.
