Income tax oaid by employer on behalf of employee


17 August 2012 hi all
my query is
what will be the computation if Employer pays the Income tax of Employees.
will the amount of Tax paid by employer be added in total salary as Perquisite ?

17 August 2012 No,Income tax paid by employer on behalf of employee is exempt in his/her hands u/s 10(10CC)

17 August 2012 Pls also read recent case law in this regard-
HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL

Director, Income Tax (International Taxation)
Versus
Sedco Forex International Drilling Inc & Others.

And i am trying to search a sample computation regarding the same but not getting it . sir can you illustrate it with an example, so that the same would be clear

17 August 2012 Tax paid by the an employer on behalf of the employee ic considered as a perquisite and is chrgeable to tax.

w.e.f. assessmentbyear 2003-04, an employer has been given an option to pay tax on the whole and part of the perquisite(not provided by way of monetary payments) on behalf of an employee, clause 10(10CC) was inserted w.e.f. A.Y.2003-04to exept the amount of tax actually paid by an employer, at his option, as the income in the nature of an perquisite on behalf of an employee. Such tax paid by the employer shall not be treated as an allowable expenditure in the hands of employee.

The above exemption is not available on monetary payment
