  1. AIT on House rent for this FY is increased from 5% to 10%

    But as AIT is 10% then my total tax is less than AIT. I have only income from House rent. The DCT of my circle said that they can not help it.

    Is there any scope of deducting AIT 5% on my rent by rent payer. or how can I get refund. I know there is a scope of adjustment in next year, but every er it will cumulative and will not help. Need your consultancy on it. Pl contact
