Tax on company cars' usage - once again

In recently popular case of flat-rate taxation of private use of official cars - Ministry of Finance creates further problems. It has recently said that the flat tax does not include fuel and now stated that rules for determining income from car using do not apply to individuals who are not employees. Therefore, tax authorities will tend to determine their income according to previous, most frequently unclear rules. All because of a legislature, which regulated the rules for determining "car" income in a provision concerning employees. However, If the legislature arbitrarily determines income from the use of car for private purposes, it can not be reasonably argued that a value of this income will be different because of a legal nature of the contract between the owner of the car and the person who uses it. This benefit (income) still has the same value for all - for the employee, mandatary or board member.

 Guilty of this confusion is both the legislature, that understands deregulation as usual in its twisted  way and officials, who willingly take advantage of every opportunity to turn imprecise provisions against taxpayers.
