first take FBT(FBT ):Fringe Benefit Tax


FBT a tax according to the Income Tax Act, section 115W, except individual assessee applies to all types of people. Company, firm, etc., mainly to pay FBT FBT. Maximum margin rate of tax ie 30% more than currently spent 10% surcharge and 3 defined in the evaluation of education cess is payable if the fixed rate responsive. Full cost is not responsible for FBT FBT explain all cases and for different types of costs between 5% to 100% is defined under the FBT assessment if the cost so we have to have 100% 33.99% Effective Tax pay .. And where the net cost is 17% to 50% at a cost impact assessment (effective rate) at the many streams / costs are below / on which FBT is applicable, but we discuss here only the festival expenses and gifts related to ..

: Festival expenses. Section 115WB (2) (l) the time spent in festivals and FBT under the FBT rate of 50% is responsible for assessing the Diwali festival means the amount spent is Rs 100 per FBT liable for the costs 50 to Rs 50 and Rs 17 100 of tax to be 33.99% to the total expenditure will be 17% effective rate. According to explanations given in 2005 Circular 8 / wide is clear that Diwali is responsible for the cost of FBT However, Independence Day and Republic Day celebrations spending may not be liable to FBT because they are festive as usual are considered as not. (Question No. 1995)

Gift:Section 115WB (2) According to (o) for gifts for employees or business partners are responsible for expenses incurred FBT valuation rate and the same as the rate of cost function that is 50% effective rate for total expenditures. 17% as explained above. According to the main explanations Circular 2005 / 8 relating to FBT on the gift has been here under brief
Question 97: gifts under trade schemes or the company's products distributors / retailers is liable to FBT to boost spending.
98 questions Category: Gift (O), sales promotion and customer not to fall down a gift. (98.)
99 no question. Employees spend on the occasion of the wedding, spend on gifts provided, is liable for FBT.
Questions (100). Liable for FBT in kind gifts and gifts for the purpose of such costs to the employer for the purpose of pricing will be taken.
After levy of FBT, I do not think there's send / employees and customers how we tax the above rules and "our" make sense in light of liability.Our can reduce gifts to present to the culture of out a major influence on whether employers or employees and net pay for both parties.Here to the various cases is how we can reduce tax liability
Case 1: where the employee is less than the income tax exemption or taxable income is less than 300,000: employees whose income we spend that case, we always effective FBT rate of 17% is paid as taxable limit 17000 100000 presented a gift to reduce the FBT though gifts from the employer as responsible for their FBT taxable to the employee does not mean.
But these types of employees cash bonuses for us as gifts instead of cash will be treated as wages under expenditure is not liable for FBT in the hands of employees and their salary income is taxable, But these types of employees should be included as wages taxable limit or reduce the net departure rate of 10% or there will not be taxed as in the case but it will share 10% lower than the FBT 17 % of the effective rate can mean savings of 7-17%.
-2 Episode: where employees pay more than the taxable income is over 300,000 or 500,000: In these types of cases we give gifts to employees in that case the effective rate of FBT to the employee bonus and 17% will allow The employee has to pay tax at 20% or as the case rate of 30% to be. In this case, we give gifts to employees as gifts are not taxable in the hands of staff and we net out to save 13% will go through 3 should be as the case may be.
I assume that workers can save as direct firm / company as well as by saving as employees after more than pure salary will be satisfied with.
Both of the above cases the business person in that case as the gift does not apply to individual assessment is beneficial in FBT goes.

I think the tip that the reader some insight on some of the FBT and gifts and to be able to save some may go out
Now as per the income tax:
As per the income tax benefits to be responsible for the FBT as perquisites will not be included in the employee's income tax applied because of the gifts received from the employer as a tax liability under the FBT it is so covered on gifts for employees do not receive work from employers
Personal Gifts:
