The important thing is: you have started. ♥️
About the company car: if you don't buy a car that's too expensive, you'll always drive better. I pay €216 net for my Pampersbomber. You don't drive a Smart privately for that. I used to drive a 5 Series Touring because I still saw it as a status symbol - I made it. Look here. Money-burning machine.

@fcsp then the car costs €21,600, so you should treat yourself to a bit of luxury in a company car. That's almost the optional extra for me.

@KleinviehmachtMist but you already know gross/net 😉

@fcsp the 1% rule applies to the vehicle list price, there is only net. Otherwise you do not have a company car but a company lease.

@KleinviehmachtMist 1% on the list price and you pay tax on that. So if the vehicle costs approx. 41k (not 21k€), it costs me 216€ net.

@fcsp I see you don't have a company car.

@KleinviehmachtMist What about you? Is it the New Year?

"What is the 1% rule?
According to the 1% rule - also known as the list price method - 1% of the gross list price of the company car is added to the monthly salary when calculating income tax. This so-called non-cash benefit increases the gross salary and the tax rate due to tax progression. As a result, more income tax is paid each month, which leads to a lower net salary."

My car has an LP of just over €40k. Taxing the 1% and the 0.03% mileage adds up to €216 for me. Because of the fuel card and no taxes, insurance or risk, that's almost a gift.

What makes you think that you pay 1% net? That's added to your gross salary and then taxed...

@fcsp If you have a company car, take a look at your payslip. Then you'll see exactly what I mean. Otherwise, please take your fairy tale lesson somewhere else.

@KleinviehmachtMist You seem to be beyond help.

@fcsp I have checked my payslip.

@KleinviehmachtMist I have now also checked: in advance. Stop accusing others of telling fairy tales.

At my old employer, it was included in the salary, but not added to the gross salary. It was only taxed afterwards. At my current employer, it is added to the gross salary and thus the total gross amount is taxed.

So there seem to be different possibilities.

I'm not in the mood for more discussion on this topic. Believe what you want...
