Hello,

• Yes, depreciation can be claimed on a car used for business purposes. The depreciation rate for cars is 15% per year. 
• Yes, the interest paid on a car loan can be claimed as a deduction if the car is used for business purposes. However, it's important to note that only the interest portion of the loan is eligible for deduction, not the principal amount.
• Service and maintenance costs incurred for a car used in business activities can be claimed as business expenses
• Fuel expenses, car insurance premiums, and other expenses related to the operation and maintenance of a car used for business purposes can be claimed as business expenses.

If you sell the house before completing 5 years, the tax benefits claimed under Section 80C be reversed.

Hope you find the information helpful. You are free to contact me for further discussion.If you could spare two minutes of your time to write a review, It would be really grateful and very happy to read it.

Thank you.

Hello Sir/Madam,

Hope you are doing well!!

in the above situation my views are as under :

in properietoership concern if vehicle used for business purposes then yes all the above exp. are allowed as business expenses, business purpose means use for business meetings, there are no mechanism to confirm whether is wholly used for business or not thus in generall when our case selected for tax scrutiny then Income tax officer add back 15-20% of exp. as personal expenses.

Depriciation rate as per income tax act is 15% annually, if purchased after 02 october then 7.5% depriciation allowed for that period (day wise depriciation not count in income tax) 7.5% or 15% depends on purchase or put to use date.

new car or second hand its depends on you choice, same in luxury or not, law is silent on this, actually in  practical this is depends on your business profile and scale.

House property question :

If the house owner sells the house within five years after acquiring possession then as per section 80C regulations, the entire deducted amount claimed in previous years will get reversed and be treated as income for the next financial year.

Hope above will help you.

It is a self declaration. AO might disallow a certain percentage as per various case laws.

Please note that if it is a business asset you might need to pay GST if you sell it.

Only principle is reversible as mentioned above.
