Summary

Issues involved: Appeal against order of CIT(A) regarding Fringe Benefit Tax for A.Y. 2006-07 & 2007-08.

Summary:
1. The appellant filed returns for Fringe Benefit Tax at Rs. Nil, but the auditor reported values of Fringe Benefit. The AO, considering relevant case law, held the appellant liable for Fringe Benefit Tax for both assessment years.

2. The CIT(A) confirmed the AO's decision, noting that all expenses were incurred on employees, and the FBT was deposited into the government treasury. The appellant's argument was dismissed based on these findings.

3. The appellant admitted a similar decision against them in another case. The ITAT, following a previous decision, upheld the CIT(A)'s order, dismissing the appeals.

Judgment: The ITAT dismissed the appeals, following precedent and confirming the CIT(A)'s decision based on the appellant's actions and the legal provisions.
