Reimbursement for Laptop purchase
Replies (10)
The laptop is a fixed asset.Now let's come to the core issue.As per hr policy the employee is a user of the laptop. He has paid for the laptop which will be reimbursed by the company considering the urgency.
In that case there is no tax treatment. If the vendor of the laptop has given a valid tax invoice, company can take input credit.

Tax Invoice should be in the Trade Name of the Company , is it in the name of the employee ?.
Yes it's in the name of employee..
Tax Invoice should be in the Trade Name of the Company . you can not show in the books of accounts unless tax invoice is in the name of the company also it is important for Audit purpose .
If it's in the name of the employee , then company cannot take input tax credit. Then the company must take an undertaking from the employee that in the event of the employee leaving the service the laptop will be the property of the company.
Too many needless complications in the above answers!
The solution is rather simple: the company buys the laptop from the employee. You might lose out on the ITC (but that concern was not mentioned in the query) - but you can capitalise the entire value because that will be your cost of purchase.
Run this by your auditor once - so long as there is an actual asset that was acquired and an actual payment made, it should not be a problem.
As per JJJ reply ,
Can employee issue Invoice to Company for purchase of laptop ?. if not then what is documentary evidence for entry in books of accounts and Audit .

Of course an employee can make an invoice. Anyone can make an invoice and an entity is free to buy from or sell to whoever they choose.
The only concern for the authorities - if at all - will be the legitimacy of the transaction. And that is addressed by the existence of an invoice, a payment made that matches the amount and party mentioned on the invoice and of course the actual physical asset which is the laptop.
Wrong JJj.
You cannot capitalize on the basis of the same.It must be a valid gst tax invoice.
