CITATION:

As s. 192 requires the employer to deduct tax on the “estimated income” of the employee, the test is whether he acted in a bona fide and honest manner. Where the employer allowed the employees deduction under sections 10(5) and 10(14) only on the basis of declarations filed by the employees without verifying actual expenditure incurred by the employee & maintaining records thereof, it could still be regarded as having acted in a bona fide manner.
