As per section 28(iv) value of perquisites by way of a foreign tour given to a dealer for his work by the company who's material he has sold is added as income under the head income from buisness or profession. Will sec 28 be applicable if a proprietor in search of a machine and technical knowledge gets invited into a foreing country where all the expenses (excluding the ticket expenses) are borne by the invitor (i.e. the machine manufacturer)? will it be considered as perquisite?
