 am in favor of the removal of cellular telephone from listed property. Taxing employees for use of an employer provided cell phone is stupid. How are employers to determine the value of a multiple phone contract that is on a pooled minute system? My employer requires certain employees to have a employer provided phone, and then withholds income tax from the employee paycheck. The value my employer is using is $40 per month taxable benefit. This doesn't make sense as to add my husband to my personal account cost us $10 per month. My husband was able to reject his employer provided phone. I am glad that my job classification does not require me to have a phone, as my employer would not allow me to use my personal phone in place of theirs. This bill would remove cellalar phones as listed property a taxable benefit to employees.
