Fringe Benefit Tax Accountants in Wollert – Melbourne

Fringe benefits in Australia refer to non-cash benefits provided by an employer to employees in addition to their salary or wages. These benefits can include a company car for personal use, meal or entertainment expenses, housing assistance, or low-interest loans. While these perks help attract and retain employees, they also come with taxation obligations that employers must manage.

Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) is separate from income tax and is calculated based on the taxable value of the benefits provided. Employers must self-assess their FBT liability annually and lodge an FBT return with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Given that FBT laws frequently change, staying compliant requires expert knowledge and up-to-date advice.

At RV Advisory Group, we specialize in helping businesses understand and manage their fringe benefits taxation obligations. Our team ensures compliance while identifying tax-saving opportunities, so you can focus on running your business efficiently.

Small and medium businesses (SMEs) often face unique challenges when managing FBT. Without the right strategies in place, FBT can become an unnecessary financial burden. Our experts at RV Advisory Group help SMEs:

  • Implement cost-effective benefit programs
  • Manage FBT liabilities within their financial constraints
  • Identify and apply exemptions or concessions that others may overlook

With expert guidance, SMEs can offer competitive benefits to employees while keeping tax liabilities in check.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)

FBT is a tax that applies when employers provide non-cash benefits to employees in place of salary. It ensures these benefits are taxed similarly to wages to maintain fairness in the tax system.
No, only certain non-cash benefits attract FBT. Work-related items like laptops and tools used primarily for work are generally exempt, as are minor benefits under $300.
FBT is calculated based on the taxable value of the fringe benefit. This value is grossed up to reflect what the employee would have earned in pre-tax salary to receive the same benefit. The FBT rate is currently 47%.
If an employee receives fringe benefits worth more than $2,000 in a financial year, the grossed-up amount must be reported on their income statement. This amount does not affect income tax but may impact government entitlements and HELP/HECS repayments.
Yes, businesses can reduce FBT liability by structuring salary packages effectively, using employee contributions, and providing exempt benefits where possible. Seeking expert advice is crucial for tax efficiency.
The FBT year runs from 1 April to 31 March, and businesses must lodge their return by 21 May each year. Extensions may be available if lodging through a registered tax agent.
Yes, salary sacrifice arrangements involving non-cash benefits are generally subject to FBT. However, certain benefits, such as superannuation contributions, are exempt.
Failing to register, calculate, or pay FBT correctly can lead to penalties, interest charges, and audits by the ATO. Keeping detailed records and seeking professional guidance is essential.
Yes, but not-for-profits may qualify for FBT concessions or exemptions. Small businesses must still comply with FBT rules but can minimize liability through tax-effective structuring.
We provide expert FBT services, including registration, return lodgement, compliance checks, and tax-saving strategies. Our team ensures businesses meet their obligations while minimizing unnecessary tax costs.
