Dear Sekhar,

Do you mean that employee has given his car on lease to the employer???...Further, the car is used by the same employee or some other...

Dear Amir,

Yes, car provided by employer (the car on lease) to an employee and car is used by same employee,

Dear Shekhar,

1) If car is used completely for personal purposes then  Rs. 40,000/month will be taxable

2) If car is used for partly official & partly personal purposes -

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rs. 40,000 - Rs. 2,400 i:e Rs. 37,600/month will be taxable..Furthet Rs. 900/month will be deducted if driver has also been provided..

3) If EXCLUSIVELY FOR OFFICIAL PURPOSES - NOTHING WILL BE TAXABLE...

Dear Amir,

Thanks a lot  your reply. Its partly personal and partly official purposes.

Please perceive on the attached file, its shows the value of perquisites is Rs.2400/-. my query is wether the value of perquisites is :

Method 1: Rs. 2400/- per month > value of perquisite   or

Method 2 : Rs. 40,000 - Rs.2,400 = Rs. 37,600 > Value of perquisite

Which is correct, as per attached file : only Rs. 2400/- would be the value of perq/taxable amount. can you please look at this and solve this.

 

 

Dear Shekhar,

The valuation will be Rs. 2,400 in case the CAR IS OWNED BY THE EMPLOYER....BUT IN UR CASE CAR IS OWNED BY THE EMPLOYEE....

 

Dear Amir,

The car is in lease period and the asset/car is not yet transferred to employee's name, shall we need to consider the the employee is owner ? I think, the ownership will transfer to employee after the completion of lease period. Pls correct if I am wrong.

Dear Shekhar,

Earlier when i asked u that do u mean employee has given his car on lease to his Emploer, u said "Yes" & now u r saying that Employee is not the owner...

Pls clearify the facts brother... 

Dear Amir,

The car provided to employee for usage, but the ownership is not transferred to employee.

The car is purchased on lease plan/finance, so the car is not in the name of employee untill the completion of lease period. after the payment of full car lease then company will tranfer the owenership to employee and stop paying car lease amount of Rs.30,000/- per month. 

 

Dear Shekhar,

Who has taken the lease frrom the leasing company??, Company or Employee..

Dear Amir,

The employer has taken the lease in company name/employer from leasing company, and shows in the books of account of company/employer (as assets) and after the completion of lease the car ownership will transfer to employee name, while transfers to employees will book as sale of car.

 transfer of movable assets is a perquisite and it is chargeable....

chargeable area= actual cost of asset-50% depreciation on wdv method for the                       car being used-any amount recovered from employee

 

i think this will be correct if the motor car is transferred after some period.

 

till  the car is not transferable , amir has explained above....

 

Thanks Aravind and Amir.
