Dear Experts,
Our company is planning to take a house as residential accommodation for our personnel. The rent is split into the House Rent and Furniture and Fittings, i.e., Total Rent is Rs. 25,000/-, in that Rs. 15,000/- as House Rent and the remaining Rs. 10,000/- is for Furniture and Fittings. Hence, please clarify whether both are subject to TDS, or only House rent is taxable?

I think both the components will attract TDS. They are charging rent for Furnishings, therefore, it comes into rent. Pon

TDS has to be deducted if rent during the year exceeds Rs.180000. Rent for furniture, furnishings etc would be included in rent amount for computing TDS.

Dear Mr. Kumar,
Rent-free accommodation is not directly taxable. However, if you are in METRO CITIES, 15% of your gross salary will be added towards perquisites and will be taxed; for other cities, it is 10%. Therefore, while considering this option, you should determine which option is more beneficial.
Furnishing allowance is also taxable at 10% of the cost rent on furniture.
