My client, a partnership firm is having a branch in Dubai with 5 employees (some sent from india and some hired from dubai). the branch in dubai incurs expenses like local conveyance, entertainment, travelling, sales promotion.
do the firm has to pay fringe benefit tax on expenses incurred in dubai.

if it maintains separate books of accounts for India and its foreign branch than FBT is applicable to expenses of only indian operations.
and if no separate books than FBT is paid on proportionate amount of global expenditure bifurcated between no. of employees in india and ourside india.
