Perquisite classification: business-related benefits treated as business income, personal benefits classified under other sources for tax.
Classification of a company-provided foreign trip hinges on nexus with the dealer's trade: when conferred in relation to purchases or other commercial dealings it constitutes business income; if purely personal and unconnected to commercial operations it constitutes income from other sources. The factual purpose and commercial nexus determine tax treatment despite the dealer's presumptive taxation status and lack of formal books. (AI Summary)
