If an employer agrees to pay for an employee's parking ticket, while the employee was on official business, then the employer is saying that this is an ordinary and necessary expense. If the business was just happily paying all of its employees' parking tickets, regardless of whether or not they were for a business purpose, willy-nilly, then there definitely would be payroll taxes involved. I think the original response from Evans' office was prudent, in saying that all tickets were incurred on Council business, they mean that that tickets were all ordinary and necessary for business to be conducted. The article writer could look into the veracity of that statement, however we are talking about what a little over three grand over three years, so to me it doesn't jump right out to be a case of abuse. Anyway, who knows for sure.
