Company car vs car allowance — which is better?

by Luqman Yusoff·September 4, 2025

Company car: maintenance covered, but it's taxable benefit-in-kind. Car allowance: is mileage reimbursement, typically non-taxable up to RM6,000/year. Do the math based on your actual mileage.

The benefit-in-kind calculation for company cars catches many people off guard. Run the numbers before accepting.

Car allowance up to RM6,000 is literally tax-free. Many people request this structure instead of a company car now.
