When some thing is chargeble in the hands of employee, it cannot be brought under Fringe Benefit Tax Though it is exempted in the hands of employee.
Trasportation allowance which is in fixed nature is exempted up to 800/- per month is not taxable as FBT.
However If you pay transportation to your employee for performing journey to outside on official duty, it is taxable as FBT.
FBT is not applicable on Transport Allowance
Kindly intimate the extent upto which transport allowance should be given exemption for income tax calculation
anything given more than 800 Rs. pm as transport allowance and any amount given more than Rs.15000 as medical allowance is taxable under FBT
Sir, Kindly confirm whether transport allowance is taxable or not if yes than upto what limit. my TA is Rs 3200 + percentage DA = Rs 3712 Pl clarify, how much TA is exempted from income tax. thanking you
Transport allowance of Rs. 800 pm is exempt from Tax. In case the employee owns the motor car and the same is being used for both private and official purpose then can claim Rs. 1200 pm+ 600 pm (driver salary) (for engine capacity less than 1.6 litre and Rs. 1,600pm + 600 pm for engine capacity more than 1.6 litre).
