Answer:

Both of these must be included in the gross income.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that the employee income that is taxable includes all the benefits in monetary amount and benefits in kind. These benefits are paid to employee as a share of salary to manage his motivation. These incomes must be included in the gross income to calculate his gross income.
