|
A:

In practice, the link between private cars and public use needs to be strictly defined, if the division of costs is unclear, i.e. the line between private cars and public use is unclear, the corresponding costs incurred will not be allowed to be charged before tax.
The transportation allowance for employees commuting to and from work shall not be disguised as treatment of the private car common rental expense charge, which would evade the personal income tax issues involved.
