- Both names in the land/strata title of the joint name property? OR
- The name(s) listed in the tenancy agreement? OR
- The name you filled in the form when you stamp your tenancy agreement with the Inland Revenue Department?
"When the respective shares of the co-owners are not indicated in the title, then under the land laws, the co-owners shall be assumed to have equal shares. Where spouses co-own a rental property, each spouse is entitled to a half share of the rental income. Therefore, each spouse should declare his/her half share of the rental income.......It does not matter if the tenancy agreement cites only one spouse as the landlord. As each spouse is legally entitled to a half share of the property, each spouse is entitled to a half share of the income from the property"
