Many property buyers purchase a property with a hope of using the home for living as well as for working purposes. Imagine, you live in a residence with your family.

Therefore, you decide to begin your start-up business from your house. Are you allowed to run your business from your house? You are staying in a home which is used for accommodation. In the same home, when you will run your business, your home is used for staying purpose as well as for commercial purpose.

The residential flats which are built under Godrej property are equipped with supreme level of amenities.

Tax exemptions for the following professionals

As per the Municipal Corporation, your residence is solely meant to live and not to execute your business in a full fledged manner. Business in homes hampers the safety and peaceful ambience of eminent residential complexes. However, certain professionals such as medical practitioners, teachers, consultants, trainers and advocates are permitted to start their business in their respective residences and the good news is that they do not have to pay tax. People who do not fall under the aforementioned professions will have to pay tax upon carrying out their business from homes. Your residential apartments cannot be used for commercial reasons. If you do so, then you will have to inform the Municipal Corporation of your area to seek permission.

Importance of space

Every property has its own square feet. Just like other housing complexes, the Godrej group has spaces of varying square feet. You cannot use the entire square feet of your apartment for your business work, especially for people who are allowed to do their business at home. As per the laws laid by Municipal Corporation, you can use only 25 percent of the square feet of your house for your business work. If you do not abide by the municipal laws, then you will be bound to pay extra money as tax to the Municipal Corporation.

Hence, try to use your residence strictly for staying and not for carrying out business functions. In case you do so, be ready to be charged. Know the protocols before you embark on a home office in your residential establishment.
