Principal Issues:
the use of subleasing arrangement to avoid the application of the standby charge rules
Position:
the article referred to paraphrases our response at the 1992 TEI conference
Reasons:
The standby charge rules will not apply if the employee is the bona fide lessee of the lease so that the employer is not in the position of having provided the employee with an automobile

Dear Sirs:
Re: Standby Charge
We are replying to your letter of February 8, 1996 concerning the article on automobiles in the September 1992 issue of "Taxation of Executive Compensation and Retirement".
The article in question examines our response to questions raised at the 1992 Tax Executive Institute Conference on the same topic. The comments in the article are not substantially different from the response given at that conference.
We trust our comments will be of assistance to you.
Yours truly,
P.D. Fuoco
