Please advice me on the taxability of Daily allowance paid by an Indian company to its employees on duty outside India for meeting expense on food etc.This allowance is fixed irrespective of the expense. This payment is made to employees by a hotel in that country. The hotel raises the invoice to the Indian Comapny.This payment is finally made by Indian Company to the foreign hotel. Advice on the taxability in the hands of employer/employee/hotel. Is any withholding of tax required? Also advice on the FBT aspect.
