Car allowance without a car

Options
Hi All,

As part of my new job, I have been offered a car allowance. But I dont have a car and I dont intend to buy one. I dont need it for my work.

Does it mean that the car allowance is taxed similar to the salary that I receive?

Are there any other conditions or rules for a "car allowance"?

Thanks for taking a look.

    Whether you buy a car or not, a round sum allowance is always taxable. Look on it as an extra bit of salary.

    There are no rules about it.

    Obviously, your company might have some rules, but thats different
