27 February 2013 Hi,

Since car is purchased by company & it seems it is also registered in the name of co. hence no depreciation can be claimed.

If it is salary income then no expenses can be claimed against deduction from salary.

Thanks!!

No depreciation can be claimed & however payment of EMI can be shown as business expenses.

Thanks!!
