Total cost of
ownership (TCO)
                                    De Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) constitutes the total cost of your vehicle, taking into account the tax de-
                                    ductibility of the different elements.

       Tco is calculated using the following components
       ■ Car costs (financial rent + services)

       ■ CO2 solidarity contribution

       ■ Disallowed expenses

       ■ Fuel costs

       This calculation takes into account the AAFisc Circular 30/2014 according to which 100% of the car expenses are deductible up
       to the amount of the benefit in kind charged to the employee.

       In the following example, the ratio 70/30 of the benefit in kind (70% of the VAA is deducted from the car expenses, 30% of the
       VAA is deducted from the fuel costs) is applied.
