Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)

Accurate FBT Calculations & Compliance.

Accurate FBT calculations, record review and lodgement for employers providing vehicles, entertainment or other benefits to staff.

Overview

Overview of Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)

Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) can be a complex area for employers, particularly where businesses provide vehicles, entertainment, expense payments, loans, accommodation or other benefits to employees and directors. We provide comprehensive FBT preparation and lodgement services to help you identify your obligations, calculate taxable benefits correctly and meet Australian Taxation Office (ATO) reporting requirements.

Our FBT Services

Our team can assist with the preparation and lodgement of annual FBT returns, motor vehicle and car fringe benefit calculations using the operating cost or statutory formula method, employee contribution and reimbursement arrangements, meal entertainment, expense payment, property, loan and residual fringe benefits, and reportable fringe benefits amounts (RFBA).

Motor Vehicles and FBT

Providing a motor vehicle to an employee or director is one of the most common situations in which FBT may arise. We help you determine whether a vehicle is subject to FBT, whether an exemption may apply — including electric vehicle FBT exemptions — and which calculation method gives the most appropriate outcome, while helping you maintain the documentation needed to support your position.

FBT Preparation and Compliance

The FBT year runs from 1 April to 31 March, different from the standard financial year. We review the benefits provided to your employees and their associates each year, prepare the required calculations, review your supporting records, and lodge your FBT return accurately and on time.
