He is in the process of computing his business income for tax year 2008 but is not clear about the tax treatment of the following items: (i) Commission of Rs 20,000 was paid to his employee but no tax was deducted by him on the presumption that individuals are not required to deduct tax from commission payments.

During the year, he purchased a car at a cost of Rs 1,200,000 which has been used for personal as well as business purposes.
