Dear all, My company is providing motor - car facility by purchasing cars from the market and providing the same to its top employee for which the terms are as follows:- 1. Employee is required to pay 25 percent of the initial cost of car 2. There is condition that after 4 year employee is required to purchase the car at the wdv value in books of accounts
My question for the same is:- 1. Whether initial amount received from employee at the time of purchase of car is taxable in the hands of employer? 2. Since the car is purchasd for sale after 4 years to employee whether company can claim depreciation on this car? 3. What is the impact in books of account after 4 years when the car is sold to employees?
