• Do all joint owners of flat have to deduct TDS and fill form 26QB separately?

Hello,
I'm purchasing a new flat with my wife and my younger brothers as co-owners. All three of us are earning and all three of us would like to take rebate in income tax for interest & principal payments as per our contribution. However, we have some queries related to TDS, which are mentioned below:
1. Do we all need to deduct TDS separately and fill separate form 26QB?
2. If separate forms are required, then do we need split the consideration value of flat and installment value both as per our contribution ratio in our forms? or only the installment value?
3. The payment contribution ratio is something which we can work out amongst ourselves only or it needs to be documented somewhere also?

It would be really helpful if you could respond to the above queries.
 
Many thanks in advance,

1) Yes

2) If you are making payment in lumpsum then consideration value of the flat in the ratio of contribution. If making payment in installments then installment value.

3) It should be clearly mentioned in the purchase deed. Share in the property and payment made by each owner should be clearly spell out in the deed. Payment should be made from respective individual account as per their share in the property. 

4) Before executing the deal, prepare agreement to sell how to settle the entire process. Also check whether the property is mutated in the seller and any encumbrance on the property. Get the report from the sub-registrar office.

5) File Form 26QB within 30 days from the end of the month in which payment is made.

6) Also confirm whether the seller is resident or non-resident.In case of non-resident, tax implications will be different.

Dear Sir,

 

Hope you are doing well !!

 

-Three Separate payment shall be made by respective co-owners by quoting respective PAN in form 26QB. Each Co-Owner shall pay TDS on their Co-ownership ratio.

 

Form 26QB needs to be filled in by each buyer for unique buyer-seller combination for the respective share. 

 

Forexample, in case of two buyers and two sellers, four forms must be filled for respective shares.

 

-As per contribution ratio.

If you are making payment in installments then installment value.

 

-It should be properly documented in purchase deed.

 

We have handled such cases before.

 

We may assist you in entire procedure.

 

It is advisable to take a phone consultation for detailed discussion.

Dear Sir,

If you jointly purchase an immovable property, then as per the provisions of income tax you need to deduct TDS in the proportion of your ownership separately.

Thanks and regards

Hi

Yes you each one need to deduct TDS separately and fill separate form 26QB.

It will be on installment value.

In purchase deed you need to mention contribution ratio.

If you are co borrowers to loan, banks do mention the ownership ratio. Else, you can decide the ration amonst yourself and take TDS deductions.

1. No, builder should agree to it. He can very well modify the agreement the way it is commercially feasible.

 

2. When you register the property, it should be registered in the same ratio.

 

3. It's not recommended.

 

4. TDS deduction will be in the ratio of each person making the payment.

The ownership ratio should be mentioned. In case it is missed, it becomes equal by default.

Ownership will depend on the amount contributed by each member and yes TDS will be deducted similarly.

Ideally the law requires each co- owner to deduct taxes on their share of payments. Each of the vo-owner is required to deduct taxes and file return and issue certificate.  

It would be great if the purchase agreement would have specified the percentage of ownership in property and hence you all can accordingly follow proportionately. 

in the absence of specifics in agreement , there can be a separate memorandum of understanding  signed between 3 co owners giving details of payments, share and usuals.  The Tds has to be Deducted proportionately.
