peer agreement (net): +1company car Explanation: Follow this (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Förmånsbil) to determine the difference between your term and 'tjänstebil'. In Sweden the employee pays income tax on the value of the 'förmån'. This UK reference (https://www.gov.uk/tax-company-benefits/tax-on-company-cars) says the tax laws are similar and they use the suggested term, which is what you first suspected. |
