Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) is a tax that is applied to certain benefits provided by an employer to their employees, including their family and associates. These benefits can include things like company cars, housing, and private health insurance.
FBT is imposed on the employer, not the employee. Employers are liable to pay FBT on certain benefits provided to their employees.
FBT applies to a wide range of benefits, including: Cars, car parking, and other transport benefits Entertainment and sporting facilities Housing and other accommodation Interest-free and low-interest loans Income protection insurance School fees Travel and accommodation
The value of a fringe benefit is determined by using the taxable value method or the statutory formula method. The taxable value method uses the actual cost of the benefit to the employer. The statutory formula method uses a set formula based on the cost of the car and the number of kilometers traveled.
The FBT return and payment are due on the 21st of the month following the end of the quarter in which the company’s financial year ends.
The FBT rate is currently 47% for the 2021 financial year.
There are several exemptions and concessions available for FBT, such as small business concessions, the remote area housing concession, and the living-away-from-home allowance concession.
Yes, you can get help with FBT from a registered tax agent or from the ATO. They can assist you with understanding your obligations and ensuring that your FBT return is completed correctly.
