With the cascading cost of living, renting an accommodation is a major financial outflow for an individual. However, the same rented accommodation can help save some tax for salaried employees. In current salary packages, employees receive house rent allowance (HRA) to meet the cost of renting an accommodation. A salaried employee staying in a rented house can claim a tax exemption towards the HRA received, subject to the limits specified in this regard.
In my today’s article I will discuss about the House Rent allowance (HRA). Now the catch here is that you an employee might trust your employer for allowing you the HRA, but at the same time you should know the right way of treatment of HRA in your Income Statement while you are filing your Income Tax Return.
What is House Rent Allowance? Employees generally receive a house rent allowance (HRA) from their employers. This is a part of the salary package, in accordance with the terms and conditions of employment. HRA is given to meet the cost of a rented house taken by the employee for his stay.
Articles deals with Taxability of House Rent Allowance , Children Education Allowance, Hostel Allowance, Transport Allowance, Outstation Allowance, Under Ground Allowance, Traveling Allowance, Daily Allowance, Conveyance Allowance, Helper Allowance, Uniform Allowance and Academic Allowance.
Along with the rest of the country, the salaried class waits for the annual budget to be announced each year. They look up to the government to provide them with higher take home pay by way of increase in tax free income and lowering of tax slabs. They also look for some relief through savings options providing tax benefits. Sometimes the hopes are fulfilled and at other times not.
Clause (h) of Rule 2A specifically provides that ‘salary’ includes dearness allowance, if the terms of employment so provede, but excludes all other allowances and perquisites. Accordingly, the performance bonus received by the appellant did not form part of ‘salary’ for the purposes of computing exemption u/s 10(13A) of the Act.
With the year coming to an end, salaried people rush to submit their tax declarations to their employers. It hurts when your employer deducts tax from your reward for 30 days of hard work. In order to save tax, one has to jump through all kinds of hoops; investments in ELSS, fresh insurance policies, PPF, etc. House Rent Allowance (HRA) is one of the favourite tools of the salaried class to save taxes. HRA exemption gives big relief to those paying rent for their accommodation.
For some people, the tax-planning season has just started. You know that house rent allowance (HRA) and the deduction related to home loan repayment can lower your tax liability. You will be pleased to know, in certain cases, you can avail tax benefits from both of these.
