FBT Exps. Disallowed

Others 1335 views 5 replies

The Assessing Officer disallowed certain expenses - car depreciation, car repairs and diesel exps. and telephone bills to the partnership
firm and added 20% of these dissallowed expenses to the personal income of the partners. The firm had missed to file the Fringe Benefit tax and
return, so A.O. has asked the firm to pay FBT and file the required return. Now while calculating the fringe benefits, do the expenses which were
dissallowed by the A.O. be deducted from the fringe benefits of the firm.

CORRECT ANS. SEE CIRCULAR OF FBT

Very simple..

There are some expenses (employee benefit related) in the organisation which will be under the perview of FBT. So if any expenses will be considered under FBT value then it will not be treated taxable in the hand of concerned employee like mobile bill reimbursement, conveyance etc and in this case oganisation need to pay FBtax accordingly. On the other hand if that expenses (employee benefit related) will not be considered under FBT then concerned employee will be taxable for that expenses like salary, medical or other CTC factors.

Here AO has disallowed some expenses and added (20% of that) with partners income so that amount (100% of such expenses) will not be considered in FBT. Organisation will not pay FBtax on that because employee will be taxable for that amount now.

If Expenses is Rs 1000.00. Suppose AO has added 20% of Rs 1000 = Rs 200.00 with the income of Partners. So Rs 1000.00 will not be considered in FBT and Organisation will not pay FBtax on Rs 1000.00. Partner will be taxable for Rs 200.00 only.
