Hi siva... FBT will not come for internet charges because internet means that is leased line connection, which is specifically excluded from FBT provisions. thanks
It falls under leased lines, hence not falling under the clause of FBT hence exclude.....
Internet Charges doesnot fall within the ambit of FBT.
Yes, it is covered under FBT since the same can used both for telephone and for the purposes of internet. Covered under "Use of Telephone" head of FBT.
