ANNUAL RATEABLE VALUE (ARV)
A Rateable Value is an estimate of what it would cost to rent a property for a year, on a set valuation date. The property is assumed to be vacant, in reasonable repair, and available to let on the open market.
ARV is a system in which the gross annual rent of the property is fixed by the municipal body and taxes would be levied based on the estimated value
ARV depends upon
1) size of the property
2) location of the property
3) proximity of the property to certain landmarks
4) locality conditions of the premises
5) amenities provided
6) usage
7) construction type
8) Construction year
ARV in Income Tax
ARV in the income tax is the amount for which the space your business occupies will typically rent
The ARV does not necessarily equal the rent actually paid for the space
It is representative of prevailing rents for similar space in the rental market

The procedure of calculating the annual value of property
1) A = actual rent received as per agreement between owner and tenant
2) B = Fair Rent
It means how much rental income a similar property in the vicinity can fetch with similar facilities and amenities
3) C = Standard Rent
Rent fixed under the rent control act
4) D = Municipal value
It is similar to the circle rate value
Rental value is fixed by a local municipal corporation or municipal committee
5) Notional rental income from house property can be calculated
6) Z = Higher of B or D ie higher of Fair rent value or municipal value
7) Y = lower of Z or C
The gross annual value of property = higher of expected rent or actual rent received = higher of Y or A
8) Net annual value is gross annual value minus municipal taxes like property tax, sewerage tax, and so on
Property tax on rented and self-occupied properties
ARV depends on actual rent received for rented properties
ARV depends upon the reasonable rent-fetching capacity of premises for self-occupied properties
