<prompt> Human: I am a salaried software developer, and have been with the same relatively small company for several years.The company grants me a bonus: I lease a car and the company pays the monthly statements I pay for everything else: gas, insurance, maintenance. Which is great: I give the monthly statement to the accountant and the company sends a check to the leasing company.Just to be clear: the lease is in my name.At tax time I get a 1099 form, related to this lease payments - which I never understood but this is not the point of my post.What I really do not understand is the fact that the company demands a copy of the lease agreement and a copy of the car sticker.I am told that this bonus is just that - a bonus for my exclusive benefit. And that the company does not derive any advantage whatsoever from it. So the question is: why does the company claims to need a copy of the lease agreement and a copy of the car sticker? And why am I required to lease a vehicle - and am told that this bonus is for lease only and NOT for a purchase? I cannot get a clear answer from the accountant andor from the owners themselves.I am sure that here there is someone that can shed some light on this...Thanks!  <response>: Take an accounting class. Companies ALWAYS need to keep an up-to-date ledger of the ins and outs of their cash and loans or receivables.
