If it ias a cash allowance it is subject to normal tax as salary and therefore out of FBT

it will be fully taxable 4 employees note dat it is not a perquisite but an allowance as it is recd in cash form.
i think it will not be taxable in the hands of the employer as FBT

An allowance taxed as a salary can not be included for FBT.
