Tax Savings with House Property Loss for Business Income

About the Case:

These losses, known as House Property (HP) losses, prompted him to seek guidance from TaxBuddy to understand how to use them strategically for tax savings against his business income.

Uncertainty about HP Loss Utilization:

  • Mr. Rathod, with business income and no salary, was unsure about effectively using HP losses for tax benefits.

How TaxBuddy Helped

Set-off Against Business Income:

  • TaxBuddy advised Mr. Rathod to set off the HP loss of ₹2,00,000 against his business income, reducing his taxable business income. This led to a lower overall tax liability related to his manufacturing business.


Carry Forward of Losses:

  • Since the HP loss exceeded the income earned from the property, TaxBuddy informed Mr. Rathod about the option to carry forward this loss for up to 8 subsequent financial years. This strategic move could potentially reduce his tax liability in future years.


Let's understand the concept with the help of some figures.

Mr. Rathod operates a small manufacturing business and also owns a residential property that he rents out.  The financial details given below.

  1. Income from Business = 5,50,000

  2. Rent received from house property =   1,20,000

  3. Interest paid on home loan = 3,39,000

  4.  Other Investments = 0
