Tax on gifts received through schemes

A/c entries 758 views 1 replies

Dear Members,

 

Recently my company has received a cars through sales schemes, but the car is ment to be used by the sale person who is working, though the car is registered in the name of our company.

Now, as we have received the cars under the scheme, will this be treated as taxable income & can these cars be treated as company`s asset. As the car is ment to be used by the sales person and also the car is a sort of special incentive to him, even though the registration of the car remained in the name of our company to keep him bound with our company, as this car has been gifted, the company is reluctant to pay the tax which may or may not be lavied to the company & also to increase the asset value.

What could be the possible accounting solution to the problem & also the accounting entries.

Havn`t yet found any solution to the problem. Pls help....

 

Regards

Any gifts received by an person, then on that TDS would be required to be made @ 30% flat.  I don’t know how the person providing the gift didn’t make TDS, as it is required to be made on gifts.

As the car is in the co’s name then it will be considered as an asset of the co, if it is used wholly & exclusively for the purposes of the business of the company.

As this car is being received as an Gift by the company, then the accounting treatment would be as follows:

Car A/c   Dr

To- Gifts Received  Cr

I don’t think that the co would be able to escape from the taxability of the Car & the co wud be required to pay tax if the case comes for scrutiny.
