All Respected Members,

Please educate me that if we give gift (clothes, perfume etc) to an employee from company account, in which account this transaction should be recorded ?

Thanks for your precious time and efforts to reply this query.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to account for gifts like clothing and perfume given to employees from the company account. The consensus is to record these as 'Gift Expense' debited and 'Bank' credited. Crucially, it's highlighted that Section 194R of the Income Tax Act does not apply to employee benefits; instead, Section 192 governs TDS on salary, meaning tax is deducted when salary is paid.

Is that clothe means uniform...???

Dr. Gift expense

Cr. Bank

As per section 194R of Income Tax Act, 1961, the TDS should be deducted at 10%. Businesses or professions are responsible for deducting TDS @ 10% if the total value of the gifts or perquisites given is more than INR 20,000 during a financial year for every recipient

But how can they duduct tds on uniforms? 

Dr. Uniform purchase 20k (including GST)

Cr. Tds 2k

Cr payables 18k

 

Section 194R does not apply to employees who receive benefits from their employers. Section 192 will apply to them.

Under Section 192, TDS is deducted at the time of actual payment of salary and not during the accrual of salary. It means tax will be deducted when your employer pays salary whether in advance or on time or in arrears (late payment).
