1. What is Right of Use Value?

The Right of Use Value represents the taxable benefit when an employee has personal use of a company-provided motor vehicle. It's calculated based on the annual lease value of the vehicle and the percentage of personal use.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Right of Use formula:

Where:

• Annual Lease Value — The yearly lease value of the vehicle as determined by tax regulations
• Usage Percentage — The percentage of personal use (vs business use) of the vehicle

Explanation: The calculation determines the taxable portion of the vehicle benefit based on personal usage.

3. Importance of Right of Use Calculation

Details: Accurate calculation is crucial for proper tax reporting and compliance with employment benefit regulations. It ensures both employers and employees meet their tax obligations for personal use of company vehicles.
