I have a small 1rk measuring 250sqft from where I run my professional interior designing work. Recently I have received a notice saying that my residential property will now be charged as commercial property and taxed in the same bracket. Need to know if this rule applies to my profession.
You cannot run a business in the residential complex until you are permitted to do so, hence if the authorities demand you to pay the taxes at the commercial rate you cannot avoid it or else the room n be sealed or may be evicted
The interior designing profession are not having any exemption in this regard.
Limited portion of the residence can be use for professional service. Practicing professional renders to his clients is his services essentially based on his qualification, personal skill and intellectual capacity. You can challenge the notice.
if you are an architect you can use part of premises as office . in such case it would not be subject to commerical assessment
Hi
If you are carrying out commercial activity under a GST registered firm then Yes you will have to pay commercial tax.
Thanks
Interior designers are not exempt from commercial tax. Therefore you have to pay the tax. Only doctors or lawyers are exempt.
They can't charge you commercial tax it illegal
Professional activities will not be allowed except by 4 professionals, i.e., chartered accountants, architects, doctors, and lawyers.
If you are an Architect, you can put part of the premises for your professional / office use.
The Notice for CT Department needs to be replied stating that, you are not carrying on commercial activity and same will not attract Commercial Assessment.
Yes if you have open an exclusive office in your apartment then BMC can charge commercial tax on property.
