When a property is jointly owned by two or more persons, each one of them is called a co-owner. In case of co-ownership of property (section 26 of the income tax act), income under the head House Property is calculated assuming there is a single owner.

Hence standard deduction of 30% on Net Annual Value and interest on housing loan will be taken into consideration while calculating the income from house property.

Taxable income so calculated will be divided among the co-owners in the proportion of their share in the property.

Let’s take an example to understand the calculation:

A Property is co-owned by A and B.
A owns 60% share while B holds 40% share in the property.
Total rent income from such property is Rs. 5,00,000.
They both A and B paid interest on home loan of Rs. 6000 & 4000 respectively.
