Tax on company car

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 12/28/2007

IT can be taxed 2 way... added to you W-2 salary. Determined by the number of personal miles driven on the car less the business miles you report. mulitplied by a factor based on that tax

or they can add it as a 1099-MISC (miscellaneos) you want to avoid this if at all possible. If the car will be used for only business purposes at the end of the year the employer woill send you ahve form to show you personla miles versus your business--if you have had no personal miles and showed this on your weekly expense report the amount of earned income will be quite small.
