As part of its fiscal 2011 budget proposal to be released Monday, the Obama administration plans to call for a repeal of a law requiring workers to pay taxes for the personal use of company-provided cell phones, the Associated Press reported. The cell phone law, which has not been enforced consistently, was put in place in 1989 and said personal use of company cell phones should be taxed like other fringe benefits such as the use of a company car, according to the AP. The administration first proposed repealing the law last summer after public comments on ways to improve enforcement of the cell phone law generated much criticism.
