5.8 The question whether income from property should invariably be taxed under the head “income from house property” is to be decided after taking into consideration the cumulative effect of all factors prevailing in a given case. The Courts have formulated different tests to determine the head under which such income can be taxed. Merely because income is attached to immovable property
Under the existing provisions, in a nutshell, gifts received by individuals and HUFs, only as sum of money from non relatives in excess of Rs.50000/- per annum are taxable. Gifts on the occasion of marriage or under a will are also outside the tax net. Gifts in kind are also not taxable. Now the gifts in kinds are being made taxable in the hands of recipients. Cases of deemed gifts due to inadequate considerations are also being brought in the tax net.

Brief Facts:- Several writ petitions were filed with the Delhi High Court, questioning the legality, and validity of Notification No. 24 / 2007 –ST dated May 25, 2007 (which exempts from service tax, the taxes paid on property from the gross value charged for renting of immovable property) and Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) Circular No. 98/1/2008 – ST dated January 1, 2008 (which clarified that right to use immovable property is leviable to service tax).
