Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax treatment when an employer covers an employee's foreign education costs. Opinions vary on whether this is a taxable perquisite for the employee or a deductible business expense for the employer. The key factor appears to be whether the education directly benefits the employer's business or is primarily for the employee's personal development.
This should be added as perquisite to employee salary and TDS on it should be deducted and paid. If employer is bearing the cost of edu, he can pay this and book this as sal exp or employee can be asked to bear this
