17 July 2013 Hi ppl,
I have recently been told to make a comparison of tax benefits arising out of 3 options:
1. Vehicle bought by employee.
2. Vehicle bought by company.
3. Company leasing the Vehicle.

Acc to me, last option is the best, but wud really appreciate any guidance on the tax benefits in each case (especially first 2, as our company is keen to go for either of them)

17 July 2013 Lease option is best in the car perks under salary income.it will give more tax benefit but.

How the company is leasing, whether it is taking from outside person or from employee only?

if the company takes lease from employee only the employee has to add that income again as business income

It will be probably leasing from an outsider.
