chivo Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Is an expat's housing allowance or car allowance taxed the same as income? Thanks- Chivo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roiethome Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 The last time I was employed here in 2002 all benefits were included for tax calculations, not sure if this is still the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonititan Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'm not sure what the laws on, but I know that in practicality, it depends on the employer. In terms of international schools, some do not tax housing allowances, some do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QED Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes it is taxable, unless your company can put it through some other expense route that doesn't relate specifically to you. If it goes through on your salary slips then you will pay tax. My car for example is a 'pool car', available for any staff to use for business. Not true obviously but it saves me about 7k a month in personal tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrbkk64 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes taxed. The "pool" car is a good one. Need to check with my Controller. Company pays my tax anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
