hello friends..........

 

My question regarding VALUATION OR PERQUISITES BEING PRESCRIBED FRINGE BENEFITS TAXABLE IN HANDS OF ALL EMPLOYEES [ SEC. 17(2)(vi) & RULE 3 ]


gift including gift vouchers and tokens received by the employee on ceremonial occasions or other wise,    is NIL  IF THE VALUE OF SUCH GIFT IS LESS THAN RS. 5000 IN AGGREGATE DURING THE PREVIOUS YEAR,,,,.....OTHERWISE IT IS FULLY TAXABLE................

 

FOR EXAMPLE....

GOLD RING WORTH RS. 10000 WAS GIVEN BY EMPLOYER TO EMPLOYEE ON HIS 25th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.......

THEN TREATMENT IS GOLD RING TAXABLE, AS IT IS NOT BELOW RS. 5000...SO FULL AMOUNT IS TAXABLE i.e 10000....

                                                                                   OR

 

TAXABLE AMOUNT IS RS. 5000 AFTER EXEMPTION OF RS. 5000......

 

PLZ SOLVED.....,,,...amount taxable is rs. 5000 or 10000.....

taxable amount is Rs.5000 but if cash is received whole amount is taxable.

  • If made in cash or convertible into money (like gift cheques), they are taxable as perquisites
  • If made in kind up to Rs. 5,000 in aggregate per annum would be exempt, beyond which it would be taxable

 

So in your case amount taxable is Rs 5000/-

Beyond Rs.5,000/- would be taxable, i also agree with Sanjay Sir & Dinesh.

But received in cash or gift cheque would be taxable 

Rs.5000 is oly taxable

agreed with all of the above mentors

Dear Vipul

 

Only Excess of Rs 5000 is Taxable.

 

so in ur case only Rs 5000 is Taxable.

OK MY ALL DEAR FRIENDS.............THANKS.......



Agree with others

 

only 5000 is taxable..

 

gifts upto rs 5000 in aggregate p.a would be exempt, beyond, which it would be taxable-circular no.15/2001, dated december 12, 2001

5000 WILL BE TAXABLE
