The Lexicon is dense and the wording for an allowance or a benefit may vary within companies, however beyond this vocabulary choice it is important to draw an equitable policy between two countries, it is essential to master the tax treatment of every allowance and benefit available, in order to select for every country, the best optimised option.

It is as important to choose the basis of every allowance and its calculation mode, i.e. fixed or percentage.
