interesting, as far as i remember, in germany any benefits towards employees are treated as income and taxed accordingly or even worse, to the point that it is better to pay out benefits in cash only. i think this comes from companies trying to save on taxes by taking advantage of benefits that previously were taxed differently (or not at all)

jep, it gets treated as "gedldwerter vorteil", so it affects your taxable income/social security tax, but depending on the car (E or ICE) and the way you deduct it (driving log, 1% rule, etc...) it can be worth it
