Company Cars?

Advantage to car allowance: If you already have a car (especially if paid for), it's a nice way for you to rent your car to the company and with a 55.5c per mile IRS reimbursement, it might be worthwhile in non-taxable income and tax deductions.

I make between 7 and 9 hundred a month tax free. Paid for Camry. I bank 1/3 for tire, maintenance, new car fund. But this thing will go for 100K more miles. I would hate to go back o company car

BOY YOUR ONE STUPID MOTHERF'R, DO YOU MAKE THIS UP AS YOU GO ALONG? I OWN MY OWN CAR AND I LOSE MONEY EVERYDAY I GO OUT ON THE ROAD. SO I DON'T GO OUT ANYMORE.
A CAR ALLOWANCE FROM A REAL COMPANY IS ONE THING, BUT THIS COMPANY DOESN'T GIVE YOU ONE
 






I used to be a Hertz Airport mgr right out of college....Free car and gas off the fleet every night...Couldn't survive on 30k and 60 hr weeks night shift forever though...
 


















I'M TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO THE MORON THAT THINKS A CAR ALLOWANCE IS BETTER THAN A COMPANY CAR.

NOW THERE IS THE EXCEPTION I.E. GENENTECH USED TO GIVE $750 A MONTH PLUS 55 CENTS A MILE THEN THEY WENT TO COMPANY CARS MANY SMALL BIOTECHS GIVE LIVEABLE ALLOWANCES AND MILEAGE
THE ALLOWANCE WOULDN'T BE BAD IF THEY GAVE US A GAS CARD OR REASONABLE MILEAGE.

The difference between the information you give,or in your case,your ignorant opinion,is that mine comes from a CPA,di##wad!Regardless people,ask your tax advisor about this area,and please don't listen to ill-informed morons!End of topic.
 






WHAT ARE YOU ON CRACK? EVERY 2 YEARS OR 65K MILES YOU GET A NEW COMPANY CAR. SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH THE CO CAR YOU BRING IT IN THEY TALK TO FLEET IT'S FIXED. SOMETHING GOES WRONG WITH YOUR PERSONAL CAR FOR INSTANCE TRANSMISSION GET YOUR CREDIT CARD OUT.
AND YOU DON'T GET 56 CENTS A MILE (WHICH BY THE WAY WAS 55.5 LAST YEAR) YOU GET THE DIFFERENCE OF THE 55.5 CENTS MINUS 18 CENTS (19 CENTS LAST YEAR BUT THEY REDUCED TO 18 BECAUSE GAS WENT DOWN LOL)
I KNOW PEOPLE LIKE YOU THOUGH PROBABLY WANT TO BE A BIG SHOT DRIVE A BMW OR MERCEDES.

Read my quote,where I mentioned subtracting the reimbursed mileage money from the(oh gee,it's really 55.5 instead of .56 cents a mile),my CPA knows the amount when he does my taxes,moron.By the way,you sound irresponsible so this won't apply to you,but I change my oil every 5,000 miles,have 80,000 miles on the car,and the only other expenses were tires,brakes,and air filter.Meanwhile,in 2yrs.,reimbursements have more than paid for the car,and have had @ a $9,000 tax write-off each year,AS PER MY CPA.You are such an a##hole,so go back under the rock you came from.

ISN'T THAT GREAT $9000 TAX WRITE OFF, SO ALL THE MONEY YOU PUT INTO THE CAR (TIRES,BRAKES ETC) I'D MUCH RATHER PUT THAT MONEY AND THE TAX WRITE OFF IN MY 401K
AGAIN I'LL REPEAT, YOUR ONE OF THE MORONS WHO PROBABLY DRIVES AROUND IN A BMW OR MERCEDES AND THINKS WHEN HE PULLS INTO A PHYSICIANS OFFICE EVERYBODY IS SO IMPRESSED WITH HIS/HER CAR.

They are impressed baby! I regularly strut into an office sporting a raging boner. The ladies love seeing my impressive man meat struggling to be released out of my $2000 Armani suit to pay them a visit. Then I get back into my BMW 7 series and boogie down to the next office to give some morefems a thrill!

DIG IT!
 






RIGHT, THEN YOUR TERRITORY MUST BE THE SIZE OF A POSTAGE STAMP BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH THAT YOU CAN'T GO OVER YOUR MILEAGE.
YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT, I'M SURE YOU WANT TO BE A BIG SHOT AND DRIVE A BMW OR MERCEDES[/QU


What is your problem? I just stated what works for me. I drive between 20-65 miles a day. The charge for extra mileage is 15 cents per mile. At the end of 3 years it will probably cost me $500. in extra charges. I get to drive a new reliable car and have to pay for oil changes and a few other basic items.
BTW I lease either a Camry or Accord not that it should matter.

Just wondering What kind of car do you drive? You seem a bit hung up on BMWs and Mercedes. You must be jealous of those who have more than you. BTW, since you think you are so smart and the rest of us are morons or should I say MORONS, your use of the word "your" is incorrect. It should be you're , or the way you write, YOU'RE. If you prefer,"you are "and especially for you, "YOU ARE "

I am impressed with your anger. Walk it off
 






So, would you still own a backup ride in case the contract was pulled or you were let go? Or just buy one when the time came? I always kept my car under a tarp and paid min insurance to keep it from cancelling......Came in handy a couple of times when the job left me! Contract will never provide cars unfortunately.....

WE'll SEE AT THE MEETING, THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT LOWERING THE MILEAGE AGAIN AS OF APRIL FIRST IT WILL BE 17 CENTS A MILE KEEP TELLING ME HOW GREAT OWNING YOUR OWN CAR IS
 






Now you are starting to realize just what a lousy company Publicis is! They are making tons of money with these contracts! They have it and intend on keeping it because they know it's an employers market out here so they can screw reps anytime they choose. That's why lying about calls is getting worse and worse.

No,my CPA is telling and showing me the benefits of owning my own car.All you add is your moronic,unsubstanciated,opinion.Gee,who to believe?Take a hike sickie!

Hey Moron,the $9000 write off,is after the $12500 tax free reimbursement from Publicis,and that is minus my gas cost.Guess what,just did taxes for last year and CPA told me if not for mileage write off,I would have paid IRS,instead of getting refund,so please go back under the rock you live under and shut your ignorant mouth!You are sick!
