handle is hein.gao/gaobadodp0001 and id is 1 raw text is: S Comptroller General of the United Statn CII) WeaingtoN,0O.20648 Decision Matter of: Guy Dean Bateman File: B-248948 Date: September 16, 1992 DIGEST A transferred employee claims entitlement to an additional relocation income tax (RIT) allowance payment contending that the computation formula used in 41 C.F.R. Part 302-11 (1991) is not consistent with the provisions of 5 U.s.C. § 5724b (1988), which calls for reimbursement of substantially all additional income taxes paid. The authority to promulgate RIT allowance regulations under that law has been delegated to the Administrator of General Services and we have concluded that the regulations, including the computation formula described therein, are reasonable and proper. Since we have determined that the payment made to the employee was correctly calculated under those regulations, no additional payment may be made. Fravne W. Lehman, 69 Comp. Gen. 258 (1990). DECISION Mr. Guy Dean Bateman has appealed our Claims Group Settlement Z-2867523, Mar. 24, 1992, which disallowed his claim for an additional relocation income tax (RIT) allowance ($198.98). Our Claims Group concluded that the allowance was properly computed by his agency under the computation formula contained in Part 302-11 of the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR).' Mr. Batemanargues that the regulations implementing the RIT allowance payments are inadequate in that they fail to take into account the individual employee's circumstances as reflected in his actual income tax returns. Since he had to pay considerably more in additional taxes on his relocation expense reimbursement than he was paid as a RIT allowance, it is his view that the RIT allowance he received does not qualify under 5 U.S.C. § 5724b (1988) as representing substantially all the additional income taxes he was required to pay. '41 C.EF.R. Part 302-11 (1991).
