Repayment of Expenses to Non-Dependant Son

416 views 3 replies

Respected Learned Members of the CAClubIndia Community,

 

Namaskar,

 

A Hindu person came up with a query. Brief background is as follows -

 

1. A retired super senior person lives with his “non-dependant” son

2. Super senior person gets monthly pension in his personal bank A/c

3. Because of advanced age, he has difficulty in going around

4. His “non-dependant” son takes care of him and all household needs

 

Query -

If super senior person transfers some amount (say Rs. 20000 per month) to A/c of “non-dependant” son as reimbursement/repayment of miscellaneous household expenses already borne by his son, then in which head can the “non-dependant” son receive that money for showing in ITR? And as this Rs. 2,40,000 total annual amount is neither income, nor loan, nor gift, so are there any tax implications?

 

This seems to be a common query of many Indian families. Any guidance and comments by the Learned Members are highly appreciated. Thanks.

Tax Implications for the Son -

*Reimbursement of Expenses*: The amount received by the son as reimbursement for household expenses can be considered as a e³ for services rendered or expenses incurred on behalf of the father. - *Not Considered as Income*: This amount is not considered as income in the hands of the son, as it's a reimbursement of expenses already incurred. - *No Gift Tax Implications*: Since the amount is being transferred as reimbursement for expenses, it wouldn't be considered as a gift. Tax Treatment - *No Tax Liability*: The son wouldn't have any tax liability on the amount received as reimbursement for expenses. - *No Need to Show in ITR*: The son wouldn't need to show this amount as income in his Income Tax Return (ITR). Conditions to be Met - *Proper Documentation*: The son should maintain proper documentation of the expenses incurred and the reimbursement received. - *Reasonable Amount*: The amount of reimbursement should be reasonable and not excessive. Conclusion The amount received by the son as reimbursement for household expenses wouldn't be considered as income and wouldn't attract any tax liability, provided proper documentation is maintained and the amount is reasonable [1].
