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.

Now here its depend on Annual amount received. If he doesnt maintain books of accounts, and dont fall under the provision of 44AA, then he can claim the expenditure otherwise not. Suggest your friend better to keep record of all the expenses in this particular case. Hope it clarifies
