We are a Private Limited Company have to pay FBT on Depreciation of Motor Car.

Whether Depreciation charged as per Company Act or IT Act is liable for payment of FBT ?

Depreciation is charged annually. Whether we have to divide the same quarterly and pay FBT on the same or the FBT liability is on the last quarter of a financial year ?

Kindly advice me, I shall be very grateful to you.

divide it for four quarter and pay advance tax based on that.

Pl... refer circular no: 8/2005 - As per this the depreciation on motor car or any other asset for the purposes of frindge benefit tax shall be the depreciation computed under the provisions of section 32 of Income Tax Act. Secondly, in the same circular it has been further clarified that for the purposes of payment of advance tax on fringe benefit tax, depreciation should be taken on a pro rata basis for payment of advance FBT tax.

As per IT Act as laid down in Sec.32. While computing quarterly depreciation, the total depreciation for the year (calculated on the basis of additions till that date) shall be divided by 4 and accordingly, whatever figure is arrived shall be subject to 20% FB value.
