Question Logging of Flight Time

I'm working for a company where the logging of flight time begins when you start the taxi, and end when you chock in. However in the past, I've worked for other companies where the logging of flight time begins when the doors are closed, and parking brake is released for the beginning of pushback. Somehow, I'm feeling that I'm getting screwed from my current company as in a day, I'd be losing 20 to 30 mins. of flight time since the time between the start of push back and the start of taxi is not computed. That means that in a year, I'd have to fly 100 hours extra in order to reach the maximum yearly flight time limitation. So, which one is considered correct? Personally I'd select the second one as when the doors are closed, I am fully responsible for everything that goes on in the aircraft. What are your thoughts on this? Where can I find a reference regarding this matter?
