4. Introduction
Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) was introduced by Finance Act, 2005 by insertion of chapter XII-H in the
Income Tax Act, 1961, containing sections 115W to 115WL. This provides for the levy of additional
income tax on fringe benefits offered by employers to their employees.
Characteristics of FBT
It is a tax on expenditure, not on income
It is a tax on employers, not on employees
It is a surrogate tax on employers
It is a tax on benefits enjoyed collectively by employees and cannot be attributed to individ-
ual employees
It is payable by the employer only if he has employees based in India
It is payable irrespective of whether the employer is liable to pay income tax on his total
income
It is in the nature of an additional income tax
Scope & Applicability
FBT is levied on an employer who provides fringe benefits or deemed fringe benefits to an
employee. These benefits are not chargeable to tax in the hands of the employee.
Section 115WA provides that in addition to the income tax charged under the Act, there shall be
an additional income tax charged for every assessment year commencing on or after the 1st day
of April 2006. This is in respect of the fringe benefits provided or deemed to have been provided
by an employer to his employees during the previous year, at the rate of 30% on the value of such
fringe benefits.
Meaning of Fringe Benefits
Section 115WB(1) defines fringe benefits to mean:
A. Any privilege, service, facility or amenity directly or indirectly provided by an employer to his
employees (including former employees) by reason of their employment. It also includes reim-
1
5. Introduction
bursements, made by the employer either directly or indirectly to the employees for any pur-
pose
B. Any free or concessional tickets provided by the employer for private journeys undertaken by
the employees or their family members
C. Contributions by the employer to an approved superannuation fund
D. Any specified security or sweat equity shares allotted or transferred, directly or indirectly, by
the employer free of cost or at concessional rate to his employees (including former employee
or employees). [This clause is inserted by Finance Act, 2007 with effect from 01/04/2008]
Meaning of Deemed Fringe Benefits
Sub-Section (2) of section 115WB provides that fringe benefits shall be deemed to have been
provided if the employer has, in the course of his business or profession (including any activity
whether or not such activity is carried on with the object of deriving income, profits or gains),
incurred any expense on or made any payment for the following purposes, namely:
A. Entertainment
B. Provision of hospitality of every kind to any person, whether by way of food or beverages or in
any other manner excluding food or beverages provided to the employees in the office or fac-
tory or non-transferable paid vouchers usable only at eating joints or outlets
C. Conference, excluding fee for participation by the employees in any conference
D. Sales promotion, including publicity but excluding specified expenditure on advertisement
E. Employee welfare, excluding any expenditure or payment made to fulfill any statutory
obliga¬tions or mitigate occupational hazards or provide first aid facilities in the hospital or dis-
pensary run by the employer
F. Conveyance
G. Use of hotel, boarding and lodging facilities
H. Repair, running (including fuel) and maintenance of motorcars and the amount of depreciation
thereon
I. Repair, running (including fuel) and maintenance of aircrafts and the amount of depreciation
thereon
J. Use of telephone (including mobile phone) other than expenditure on leased telephone lines
K. Maintenance of any accommodation in the nature of guest house other than accommodation
used for training purposes
L. Festival celebrations
M. Use of health club and similar facilities
N. Use of any other club facilities
O. Gifts
P. Scholarships
Q. Tour and travel (including foreign travel)
The major distinction between fringe benefits and deemed fringe benefits is that fringe benefits
are subject to FBT only when provided to an employee or his family members, whereas deemed
fringe benefits are taxable, irrespective of whom they are provided to.

6. Introduction
Valuation of Fringe Benefits
Section 115WC provides the valuation mechanism for fringe benefits and deemed fringe benefits.
No valuation mechanism has been provided for fringe benefits under 115WB(1)(a) and in respect
of benefits under 115WB(1)(b), 115WB(1)(c) & 115WB(1)(d), the full value of fringe benefits are
liable to FBT.
The fringe benefits in respect of free tickets and concessional tickets are applicable only to those
employers who are engaged in the business of carriage of passengers or goods i.e., airlines,
shipping companies, tourist bus/ taxi operators, and so on. The value charged to the public as
reduced by the amount recovered from the employee is the value of the fringe benefit. The fringe
benefits in respect of contributions to superannuation fund are applicable on amounts exceeding
one lakh rupees in case of each employee.
The value of fringe benefits under 115WB(1)(d) is the fair market value* of the specified security
or sweat equity shares on the date on which the option** vests with the employee as reduced by
the amount actually paid by, or recovered from, the employee in respect of such security or
shares [This is inserted by the Finance Act 2007, with effect from 01/04/08].

2.3 Expenses Partly Subject to FBT
In the event, where a part of the expenditure is not subject to FBT and the balance amount which
is subject to FBT (Expenses incurred in respect of benefits offered to employees), it is crucial to
determine the accurate value of expenses for computation of FBT.
Tally.ERP 9 provides the flexibility to enter information in the same voucher using a single
expense ledger. Consider the following scenario to illustrate the Expenses Partly Subject to FBT.
Example 3:
On 20th April, 2008, M/s. Coramandel Industries received a bill (vide no. 537) from Krishna Petro
Industries for Rs. 10,000/- towards fuel charges for the following purposes:
Company Cab — Rs. 4,000/-
Industrial Fuel — Rs. 6,000/-
The following example illustrates FBT transaction using a Purchase Voucher. Before passing the
Voucher, create the following required ledgers.

2.4 Accounting FBT on Depreciation
As per the provisions of Chapter XII H of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the expenditure on running
and maintenance of cars includes lease rentals (both financial and operating), depreciation on
cars under the income-tax law, fuel, driver’s salary, parking charges and also interest on loans for
cars.
In Tally.ERP 9, the user can account for FBT on operating and financial costs as and when
charged off to the Profit & Loss A/c but however expenses such as depreciation, which are
generally calculated at the end of financial year for tax purposes, are required to be recorded
through an optional voucher viz., Memorandum voucher (which does not affect Accounting or
Inventory records) to compute FBT on such expenses. Consider the following example to illus-
trate the same.
Example 4:
As per the Income Tax Act, depreciation @ 15% is chargeable on Motor Car. For the purpose of
Fringe Benefit Tax, M/s. Coramandel Industries accounted for Depreciation on Motor Car @ 15%
for the quarter ending 30th June 2008.
The same is accounted for by passing a Memorandum Voucher as shown. Before passing the
Voucher, create the following ledgers.

2.5 Adjustments in FBT
FBT is calculated at the prescribed rate on the assessable value of fringe benefits and deemed
fringe benefits on a presumptive basis using certain expenses as a measure. In this backdrop, the
employer may erroneously compute tax on or include any non-official business expenditure or
expenses of personal nature or any advance expenses (not actually incurred) or any expense dis-
allowed or outside the ambit of the FBT. At such times, it is necessary to adjust the excess tax
paid or payable.
2.5.1 Reversal of Excess FBT
Any excess advance tax paid in the preceding quarter can be adjusted against the advance tax
for the subsequent quarter(s). In Tally.ERP 9, you can adjust the excess FBT paid for any
preceding quarter using debit notes.

Example 5:
With reference to the previous example (Refer Example 3), where Rs. 10,000/- was paid against
B.No. 537 dated 20-04-08, towards Cab and Industrial Fuel expenses.
On 20th May, 2008 a revised invoice from M/s. Krishna Petro Industries was received for Rs.
9,500/- and it was reported that Rs. 500/- out of Rs. 4,000/- (Cab Fuel) had been wrongly included
in the bill.
The same is accounted as shown.

2.5.2 Accounting for Recoveries from Employees
As per section 115WC(1)(a), where the employer recovers from its employees, any amount of
expenditure incurred for the purposes listed in clauses (A) to (P) of sub -section (2) of section
115WB, the value of the fringe benefits shall be determined with reference to the net expenditure
and not gross expenditure. In other words, where there are recoveries from employees towards
fringe benefits or deemed fringe benefits, such items are liable to FBT on the amount of expendi-
ture net of recoveries. However, where the recovery is from third party, the gross amount of
expenditure is subject to FBT.
For example, if an employer incurs a total expenditure of Rs. 15,000 on repair, running and main-
tenance of motor cars, and recovers Rs. 2,000/- from its employees, the value of the fringe
benefits in respect of repair, running and maintenance of motor-cars shall be calculated on the
basis of the net expenditure of Rs. 13,000 (i.e, Rs. 15,000 minus Rs. 2,000).
Tally.ERP 9 allows you to account for recoveries from employees and automatically adjusts the
value of Fringe Benefits subject to FBT in accordance with the statutes.

2.6 Payment of FBT
Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) is to be paid in advance during any financial year in respect of the
current fringe benefits, which would be chargeable to tax in the assessment year following that
financial year. The employer is required to pay advance tax at the rate of 30% of the current fringe
benefits paid or payable in each quarter.
The advance tax is to be paid on or before 15th of the succeeding month following the quarter in
which the fringe benefits are paid or payable. But, in the case of the last quarter ending on 31st of
March of the financial year, the advance tax shall be payable on or before 15th March of the same
financial year. The advance tax for the first three quarters is to be paid on the basis of actual
expenditure incurred in each quarter. However, in the last quarter the advance tax may be paid on
an estimate basis since the tax has to be paid before the closure of the financial year.
Any excess advance tax paid for the preceding quarter can be adjusted against the advance tax
for the subsequent quarter(s). With effect from July 2005, challan No. ITNS 283 should be used
for payment of Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) and the tax amount should be rounded off to the nearest
rupee.
Due Dates for payment of FBT

culated in the manner laid down.

ified in below :
