21 February 2011 Both should be capitalized.

21 February 2011 A laptop is not a perquisites and not taxale in the head of director. Company should capitalise the valuse of laptop and charge depreciation in every year.

Mobile phone should also be capitalsed and 10% of the cost of mobile will be treated as a perquisites in the hands of the director and tax shpuld be calculated accordingly.

21 February 2011 Yes the basis of 10% is as per Income Tax Act. Please read section 17(2)(iv) of the IT ACT.
