the said expenditure can be shown as Conveyance Expenses.

13 May 2009 The answer to this query lies in the following clarification provided by CBDT in the circular no8/2005 dated 29.08.2005
13. Whether expenditure incurred by a professional like a lawyer or auditor on conveyance, tour and travel, and reimbursed by the client, is liable to FBT in the hands of the client?
The reimbursement of expenditure incurred for the purposes of conveyance, tour and travel is essentially a component of professional fee paid by the client to the lawyer or auditor. Accordingly, such expenditure is not liable to FBT in the hands of the client.
Thus if the expenditure on travels etc of the consultants is booked with the fees for the services head, FBT is not payable without doubt. If the expenditure is booked in travel head, it can not be argued that the FBT is not applicable as the employer employee relationship is not there at a particular expenditure. The employee employer relationship need to be seen at the entity level, not at the expenditure level. Since the company has employees, the relationship has been established, there is no need to look further into the expenditure, whether incurred by employees or not.
