Insurance on cars-Liable 2 FBT U/S115WB(2)(H)

ya it is liable to FBT under the said section even the first insurance... different views prevail over the capitalisation of the first insurance...an argument against the capitalisation can be that since the premium paid is a period cost i.e., it relates to a single year it should be not be capitalised...waise whether capitalised or not FBT is levieble for sure....

Car insurance is liable to FBT irrespective of it's capitalized or expense out. If you remember there are columns in FBT Annexure viz : 1. charged to P/L 2. Carrried to balance sheet. 3. Charged under any other head. 4. Reimbursement. Capitalized insurance will be shown under "Carried to balance sheet".

yes insurance will be liable to fbt.but if capitalise it then it will automtically be covered by fbt as if ypu capitalise it then it will be debited in the profit and loss account in the form of dep. on car on which you have to pay fbt.

But if Capitalised insurance is FBT liable...aint it double taxation coz...depn on motor cars is liable 2 FBT???

Insurance of vehicles is not running and maintenance expense...and will not be liable to FBT

 Yeah, The insurance amount which is capitilised to be depreciate and the FBT will be paid on that

Capitalised insurance is liable to FBT.

FBT is payable on insurance of car if it is debited to P&L account. If it is capitalized the same shall not be considered for FBT. Fbt on the same will be adjusted through depreciation.

There is no provision of double taxation on a single expenditure.
