Vehicle expenses allowed as expense to the Company when vehicle is used by Director employees

Last updated: 06 June 2023
Quick Summary
The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Pune, has ruled that expenses incurred on vehicles used by director employees can be treated as business expenses for the company. The tribunal allowed depreciation and maintenance costs, overturning a partial disallowance made by the Assessing Officer. This decision was based on previous rulings that the use of company cars by directors cannot be solely characterised as non-business use.
