Dear aishwaryaa,

FBT has been abolished in the finance act, 2009.

that means FBT will not be applicable for assesees w.e.f 2010-2011 assessment year.

in your case, as the previous year in which that event occured is related to 2010-11 assessment year FBT will not be attracted to that.

Nilesh,

The FBT already paid by the companies shall be allowed to be set off against Income tax payable though it is not specifically mentioned in the budget..( as given in CA Journal August, 09 in the article on budget by CA Ved Jain)
