I think if employee's main purpose of tour is to supply the goods to client then it will be direct expenses for company i.e. Transportation cost. If he is having any additional work in tour then it will come under Travelling Expenses i.e. indirect expenses.

For accounting Purpose We can debit such expenses in travelling expense A/c.But For correct calculation of FBT we have to Segregate expense on basic fare & expenses on lodging ,boarding ,local conveyance because value of FBT on Tour & travel is 5% while it is 20% on local conveyance ,boarding and lodging

Does "tour & travel" includes only ticket fare or also expenses incurred by an employee on local traveling during his tour for FBT purpose ? Are the expenses incurred by the employee on local travelling during his tour included in "conveyance" or in "tour & travel" for calculation of FBT ?
