  • Debt & Equity implications
  • Salary sacrificing
  • Low income tax offsets

  • Any other special circumstances you have had during the year

 

 

Happy new year (FBT)

It’s nearly time to say Happy new Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) Year. If you are similar to most other businesses then this is not a ‘happy’ event to celebrate as it often results in onerous compliance. Contact our offices if you require assistance to reduce your FBT exposure.

 

  • Contact our offices if you answer yes to any of the following questions:
  • Do you own a motor vehicle used by an employee for private purposes?
  • Do you pay for personal car parking for employees?
  • Do you assist employees with housing or accommodation costs?
  • Did you provide a loan to, or release an employee from paying a debt?
  • Did you pay expenses on behalf of an employee (eg phone, travel, etc.)?
  • Do you provide entertainment (eg meals) to employees or their associates?
  • Did you ever buy gifts for an employee costing more than $299?
  • Did an employee salary sacrifice super contributions for a spouse?
