The authors investigate the local regularity for the very weak solutions of the following quasilinear elliptic equation: \[ \text{div}\, a(x, u, \nabla u)=-\text{div}\, F(x),\;x\in \Omega \] where \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N\) \((N\geq 2)\) is a bounded domain, \(a(x, u, \xi):\Omega\times \mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}^N\to \mathbb{R}^N\) satisfies the usual measurable Carathéodory condition. Moreover the following conditions hold true: (i) \(a(x, u, \xi)\cdot \xi\geq \gamma_0| \xi| ^p\), \(1<p<N\), \(\forall\xi\in \mathbb{R}^n;\) (ii) \(| a(x, u, \xi)| \leq\gamma_1| \xi| ^{p-1}+k(x)+\gamma_2| \xi| ^{p-1}\), where \(\gamma_i\) \((i=0, 1, 2)\) are positive constants, \(k(x)\in L_{\text{loc}}^{p'}(\Omega)\) and \(p'=\frac{p}{p-1}\); (iii) \(F(x)\in (L_{\text{loc}}^{p'}(\Omega))^N\). By using the method of Hodge decomposition, the authors generalize the local regularity results obtained by \textit{D. Giachetti} and \textit{M. M. Porzio} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 39A, No. 4, 463--482 (2000; Zbl 0942.49029) and Acta Math. Sin., Engl. Ser. 19, No. 2, 349--370 (2003; Zbl 1160.35364)].
