- The Federal Fiscal Court (BFH) ruled that employee-paid parking space costs do not reduce the taxable benefit from the private use of a company car.
- The provision of a parking space is considered a separate benefit from the use of the company car.
- Only payments made by employees for the actual private use of the company car can reduce the taxable benefit, not payments for parking spaces.
- The BFH overturned a previous decision by the Cologne Fiscal Court that had allowed such a reduction.
