10 July 2008FBT is applicable on all type of expenses even on preoperative expenses. I just want to know what is the accountig treatment on FBT paid on preoperative expenses. Whether it should also be capitalised or should be shown below line. There are no specific guidelines available from ICAI in this regard. Can anyone reply Pls ?

Pre-operative Expnses is considered for FBT Calculation.
Whether pre-operative expenses falling within the categories specified in section 115WB(2) would be covered in the scope of fringe benefits?
16. Any expenditure incurred for the purposes referred to in clauses (A) to (P) of sub-section (2) of section 115WB is liable to FBT irrespective of whether such expenditure is incurred prior to commencement of the business or thereafter.

dear friend....
you already aware that income tax is not an admissible expense for calculation of taxable income u/s 40 a.U also a ware that preoperative(preliminary) expenses are admissible as an expense over a period of 5 years u/s 35 D.If we include FBT in preoperative expense , it should also be included for the purpose of deduction u/s 35 D which is a contravention of section40 a.
therefore it is advisable to showit below line.

Well my friend you will have to capitalise fbt as per AS 10...as it clearly says any expenses/taxes are required to be capitalized.
On the other hand,in income tax fbt wold not be shown in fixed asset schedule.There would be a difference in addition among companies act fixed asset schedule and income tax,the diiference would be of fbt.
For any further queries,feel free to ask.
Thanks & Regards,
