20 March 2009 Respected professionals,

my frd is working in some co. as software engneer. but his co. show him as a private contractor instead of salaried employe. my frd does ful time work at their office (9.00am to 7.30pm)& not work for any other person & his salary does not contain any allowance.i.e. hra, ca, etc.;

is that income is salary or business income. if it is PGBP than can he claim petrol expenses from his income.

thanks in advance.

20 March 2009 Hello dear, For taxing income under the head salary, there must be the relation of Employer & Employee between the payer and payee. If the relation does not exist then the income would not be deemed to be income from salary. As business income is concerned, you can deduct the allowable expenses.
