There are two ways to determine this \u2013 the flat-rate value-in-use approach and the logbook method \u2013 although the flat-rate method may be disadvantageous for some users:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]\n\n<div class=\"article_infobox article_infobox_center\" style=\"width: 100%; background-color: #304d5e; color: #ffffff;\">\n\t<\/p>\n<h2>The 1% rule (flat-rate value-in-use method)<\/h2>\n<p>According to current Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) case law and Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) administrative opinion, vehicle-related taxation applies under the 1% rule for pool vehicles. This means that the gross list price of each pool vehicle (taking into account, where applicable, the quarterly or halving rule for income tax pursuant to Section 6 (1) No. 4 of the Income Tax Act) is multiplied by 1%. The resulting taxable non-cash benefits of all pool vehicles are added together and divided by the number of employees authorised to use the vehicles. A separate calculation is made to determine the taxable non-cash benefit for other private journeys, such as journeys from home to the first place of work (and any other journeys).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>For example:<\/h2>\n<p>The employer has three combustion engine vehicles (with a gross list price of 32,000 euros, 38,000 euros and 48,000 euros) in its vehicle pool, which can be used by five employees \u2013 including privately. Multiplying the gross list prices by 1% in each case gives the following amounts: 320 euros, 380 euros and 480 euros. Adding these three values together results in an overall monthly non-cash benefit of 1,180 euros. This value is distributed among the authorised employees and recognised as a non-cash benefit subject to income tax in the amount of 236 euros for each employee..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The possible disadvantage:<\/h2>\n<p>The above-mentioned flat-rate non-cash benefit is recognised regardless of actual use. Those who rarely or never drive a pool vehicle privately are nevertheless allocated a flat-rate non-cash benefit, even in the same amount as a user who makes many private journeys. Put simply, the flat-rate method (1% method) works like a watering can. It simplifies billing \u2013 but makes the model more expensive.<\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"textimage abstractContentDialogComponent abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"textmedia textmedia--largemedia textmedia--right h-clearfix\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__inner\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__text \">\n<div class=\"textimage abstractContentDialogComponent abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"textmedia textmedia--inverse textmedia--right h-clearfix\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__inner\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__text \">\n<h2>Commuting: additional taxation<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]If use of the pool vehicle is permitted for the journey between home and the first place of work,\u00b9\u207e an additional flat rate of 0.03% of the gross list price must be calculated per month for each pool vehicle using the flat-rate value-in-use method and these values must be added together for each pool vehicle. The resulting amount is distributed among the authorised employees. The subsequently resulting amount per authorised employee is multiplied by the individual distance in kilometres driven between home and the first place of work. If employees make the effort to individually document each of their actual monthly journeys to the first place of work, they can benefit financially if they are only making a small number of monthly journeys, as the gross list price per pool vehicle is multiplied by 0.002%. The resulting amounts for the pool vehicles are totalled and divided among the number of employees entitled to use them. The subsequently resulting amount is multiplied for each employee by the individual number of monthly journeys and the one-way distance between home and the first place of work, and is then subject to income tax.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"textimage abstractContentDialogComponent abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"textmedia textmedia--largemedia textmedia--right h-clearfix\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__inner\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__text \">\n<div class=\"textimage abstractContentDialogComponent abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"textmedia textmedia--inverse textmedia--right h-clearfix\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__inner\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__text \">\n<h2>The logbook method<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]A fairer \u2013 and possibly cheaper \u2013 alternative is the logbook, in which case each journey is assigned to a user. The non-cash benefit is calculated based on the proportion of the total costs of the vehicle corresponding to the ratio of the private kilometres (including journeys from home to the first place of work) driven by the authorised user to the total distance travelled by the pool vehicle (see here: Wage Tax Directive 8.1 (9) No. 2). Those who rarely make private journeys could be allocated a lower non-cash benefit for income tax purposes using the logbook method than with the flat-rate method. Those who do not make any private journeys generally do not pay tax on any non-cash benefits under the logbook method. Of course, keeping a tax-compliant logbook requires a certain amount of discipline, as every single journey must be recorded; however, digital, tamper-proof (!) logbooks save a lot of work.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"textimage abstractContentDialogComponent abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"textmedia textmedia--largemedia textmedia--right h-clearfix\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__inner\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__text \">\n<div class=\"textimage abstractContentDialogComponent abstractContentComponent parbase section\">\n<div class=\"textmedia textmedia--inverse textmedia--right h-clearfix\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__inner\">\n<div class=\"textmedia__text \">\n<h2>Special case of on-call duty<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]When an emergency vehicle is made available during on-call hours (e.g. for the fire brigade), this does not generally give rise to a taxable non-cash benefit if the business interest or the necessary unrestricted availability for deployment outweighs the private benefit of being able to use the vehicle privately during this period, even if this is compulsory (see also BFH decision of 19 April 2021, VI R 43\/18, Federal Tax Gazette (BStBl) 2021 II p. 605).
