dear valji,

if this entry would be made then it will stand in the name of employee. How will we write off this afterwards.

Dear Aditya nd valji,

Valuation of perquisite is made on the basis of per calender month (Rs. 2400 per month), in this case how will we recognise that in books while we are already showing the actual expense of car in Profit & loss a/c.

if you debited actual expenses debited to profit & loss account then not added to employee salary

then create hard car expenses-MR A(Employee),Car expenses (MR B) debit to profit & loss accouts

if you given to employee then also allowed as exepnses if directly debited actual expenses then also allowed as exepses .it not make diffreance for the company

if you pay fixed allowance per month for example rs 2400 but actau expeses of employee is rs 2200 then RS 200 is taxable in the hand of employee
