28 April 2012 According to sec. 2(ea) of Wealth Tax act if a company alloted any house to its whole time employee for residential purpose whose gross salary is less than 5 p.a. then company is not required to pay the wealth tax on such HOUSE. But in the given case both the house will be considered as an asset of the company and hence wealth tax is required to pay by the company as gross salary of employee is more than 5lac p.a.
