Gross Annual Value - Details

Details

In India the Gross Annual value is the current value, the actual rent (whether received or receivable) or the fair rental value, whichever is highest or which the property might be expected to attract on the open market in ideal circumstances where there is neither a glut nor a shortage of accommodation.

The following four factors are taken into consideration while determining the GAV of a property:

  1. The rent payable by the tenant (actual rent)
  2. The municipal valuation of the property
  3. The fair rental value (market value of a similar property in the same area)
  4. The standard rent payable under the Rent Control Act

If a property is self-occupied then the GAV is considered to be nil.

In Falkirk in Scotland the Gross Annual Value is used to calculate Council house rent based on factors such as house type, age, structure, number of apartments, overall floor area, location and type of heating.

The Gross Annual Value is also used in the United Kingdom as the basis for calculating Income tax from property following the replacement of property rates with the Community Charge.

It has in some cases become a more general term to refer to the annual value of an asset before expenses incurred relating to the ownership of the asset. Where the asset can be property, or something else, such as a share in a business, or other financial asset.

Famous quotes containing the word details:

    There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)
