Dear thaks ok

But i sill asking about the proviosons of above in relation to perquisites...........

Hello,
 

But i think Tax liability of employes will increases...

If i m wrong plz make me correct.

these allowances are taxable in the hands of the employees

the tax treatment is given in the chapter XII-H

of the it act

Perquisites will be taxable in the hands of Employee like the old provision.

Fringe Benefit Tax

The Finance Act, 2005 introduced a new levy, namely, Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) on the value of certain fringe benefits. The provisions relating to levy of this tax are contained in Chapter XII-H (sections 115W to 115WL) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

It is proposed to insert a new section 115WM to abolish the fringe benefit tax. Consequently, it is also proposed to restore the taxation of the fringe benefits as perquisites in the hands of the employees. Therefore, it is also proposed to amend clause (2) of section 17,—

(a) by substituting sub-clause (vi) so as to provide that perquisite shall include the value of any specified security or sweat equity shares allotted or transferred, directly or indirectly, by the employer, or former employer, free of cost or at concessional rate to the assessee. For this purpose, the value of any specified security or sweat equity shares shall be the fair market value of the specified security or sweat equity shares, as the case may be, on the date on which the option is exercised by the assessee as reduced by the amount actually paid by, or recovered from, the assessee in respect of such security or shares. The “fair market value” will mean the value determined in accordance with the method as may be prescribed by the Board.

(b) by inserting sub-clause (vii) to provide that perquisite shall also include the amount of any contribution to an approved superannuation fund by the employer in respect of the assessee, to the extent it exceeds one lakh rupees.

(c) by inserting sub-clause (viii) to provide that perquisite shall also include the value of any other fringe benefit or amenity as may be prescribed.

These amendments will take effect from 1st April, 2010 and will accordingly, apply to the assessment year 2010-11 and subsequent assessment years.

Consequently, it is also proposed to amend section 49 to provide that Where the capital gain arises from the transfer of specified security or sweat equity shares referred to in sub-clause (vi) of clause (2) of section 17, the cost of acquisition of such security or shares shall be the fair market value which has been taken into account for the purposes of the said sub-clause.

This amendment will take effect from the 1st April, 2010 and will accordingly apply to assessment year 2010-11 and subsequent assessment years. [Clauses 9,23,48]
