Santa Clara County Superior Court has weighed in on a proposal to improve or eliminate a 20-year-old law that requires taxation of personal calls made on work cellphones, The Wall Street Journal reported today.
The court’s chief executive officer, David Yamasaki, wrote that the court loses about 45 employee hours a month trying to comply with the law by tracking personal calls by 160 court employees who have work-provided cellphones, all to get them to reimburse the court for about two hours' calls, total.
Since nobody seems to follow the rule, the Internal Revenue Service is calling on Congress to get rid of it.
