Company wants to benefit from my professional license but does not want to pay me for it.

My company wants me to register my professional license so they can save money on tax (quite a hefty amount every month). As this puts more responsibility on my shoulders, when the plan was initially discussed (last year), it was discussed on the basis of receaving some extra money. Unfortunately nothing in writing, but I have various people that were present in the conversation. Now that we are on the final stages of the process, I received a contract with no mention of extra money.

My company wants me to register my professional license so they can save money on tax (quite a hefty amount every month). As this puts more responsibility on my shoulders, when the plan was initially discussed (last year), it was discussed on the basis of receaving some extra money. Unfortunately nothing in writing, but I have various people that were present in the conversation.

Now that we are on the final stages of the process, I received a contract with no mention of extra money. When I questioned them about it they said that this was never the intention and as far as they're concerned, my license is there just to help the company get some tax off, also stating present financial difficulties. Essentially they want all the benefits for them and all the risk for me at no extra cost. Sounds fair right?

So far I am standing my ground and have explained to them that the extra responsibility needs to be remunerated accordingly. I think that negotiation is not my strongest point though and the economic situation on the country I currently work is not the best. My insecure self also keeps reminding me that this is the best paying job I ever had but accepting this will make me feel demotivated and disgruntled.

Any tips team? Cannot let them walk all over me on this.
