To calculate the gross rental income, taxable rental income, and rental income tax for Secha Trading Share Company for the tax year ending June 30, 2010, we'll follow these steps:

1. Calculate Gross Rental Income

Total rooms: 100
Rooms rented out: \(100 - 30 = 70\)
Monthly rent per room: Br 5,000

To find out how many months each rented room contributes to rent:

  • Rented for 6 months (since 30 rooms were vacant for 6 months).
  • Rented for 12 months (since 70 rooms were occupied for the full 12 months).

Calculating the total rental income:

  1. For the 70 rented rooms:

    • Income for 12 months = \(70 \text{ rooms} \times Br 5,000 \text{ per room} \times 12 \text{ months} = Br 4,200,000\)
  2. For the 30 vacant rooms:

    • Income for 6 months (no contribution as they were vacant for 6 months)

Thus, the Gross Rental Income = Income from rented rooms
Gross Rental Income = Br 4,200,000

2. Calculate Taxable Rental Income

Total expenses incurred:

  • Maintenance expense = Br 50,000
  • Land and building tax = Br 10,000
  • Advertising expense = Br 21,000
  • Annual land lease cost = Br 100,000
  • Other deductible expenses = Br 65,000

Total deductible expenses = Br 50,000 + Br 10,000 + Br 21,000 + Br 100,000 + Br 65,000 = Br 246,000

Next, we will calculate the Taxable Rental Income:
Taxable Rental Income = Gross Rental Income - Total Deductible Expenses
Taxable Rental Income = Br 4,200,000 - Br 246,000 = Br 3,954,000

3. Calculate Rental Income Tax

Assuming the tax rate for rental income is a flat rate or according to a certain structure (not provided in your request).

Since no tax rate has been specified in your request, we'll consider a hypothetical rental income tax rate of \(15%\) (typically used in many regions for illustrative purposes).

Rental Income Tax = Taxable Rental Income × Tax Rate
Rental Income Tax = Br 3,954,000 × 15% = Br 593,100

Summary of Calculated Values:

  • Gross Rental Income: Br 4,200,000
  • Taxable Rental Income: Br 3,954,000
  • Rental Income Tax (at 15%): Br 593,100
