1. What is Property Rental Income Tax?

Property rental income tax is a tax levied on the profit earned from renting out property. It's calculated by subtracting allowable deductions (expenses and allowances) from the gross rental income and applying the appropriate tax rate.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ Tax = (Rental\ Income - Allowances - Expenses) \times Tax\ Rate \]

Where:

\( Rental\ Income \) — Total income from property rental
\( Allowances \) — Depreciation and other allowances
\( Expenses \) — Deductible expenses related to the property
\( Tax\ Rate \) — Applicable tax rate percentage
