Reimbursement of expenses on computer


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax treatment of employees purchasing their own computers for work. The company provides a monthly reimbursement for maintenance, which is generally considered an allowable business deduction for the company. Crucially, this reimbursement is not typically added to the employee's salary as taxable income, provided the computer is used for official business purposes.

24 September 2021 Dear sir,
I need advise on following transaction under income tax act.
We are asking our employee to buy computer or laptop at their own cost. it is not fixed assets of the company.
company is paying around 2000 pm as reimbursement of expenses towards maintenance of the same for 4 year.
whether it is allowable deduction for company or it should be added to employee salary.

24 September 2021 It's an allowable deduction for the company, as the laptop is used for the business of the company.
