05 April 2023 Under the Income Tax Act, expenses incurred by a company that are for the purpose of earning income are generally allowed as a deduction. However, the reimbursement of holiday expenses to an employee may be disallowed as a deduction if it is considered to be an expense incurred for the personal benefit of the employee and not for the purpose of earning income.

Additionally, if the reimbursement of holiday expenses is considered a perquisite and taxed in the hands of the employee, the company may not be able to claim a deduction for the same amount as an expense.

It is important to note that the tax treatment of reimbursement of holiday expenses can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the nature of the expense. It is advisable to seek guidance from a qualified tax professional to determine the appropriate treatment of such expenses for your particular situation.
