Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) incentives are a powerful way to attract and motivate employees and drive long-term retention for employers.
Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) is tax that is payable by an employer for benefits that are afforded to employees that do not fall into the traditional category of salary, wages, or bonuses. West Australian businesses that have employees (including sole director companies) may be required to register for FBT if employees are being paid or ‘given’ benefits that are not exempt from fringe benefits tax.
Some items such as mobile phones, laptops, tablets, uniform, or tools required to perform a job may not be subject to FBT. However, for items that are deemed to be a fringe benefit of the role, they may be subject to FBT. Business that fail to comply with FBT regulations may be subject to penalties and fines.
Fringe benefits are generally considered to be perks of the role that fall beyond the scope of salaries and bonuses and are intended to incentivise employees. Some of the most common types of fringe benefits include:
· Vehicles for personal use under a novated lease agreement
· Discount on loans or other financial products
· Gym memberships and health benefits
· Private health insurance (paid or partially subsidised)
· Subsidised childcare costs
· Subsidised entertainment or holiday expenses
· Subsidised housing or rental agreements
Items that you need to do your job such as a company car or mobile phone may considered a “perk” but by virtue of the fact that they are necessitated to perform your job, they are not deemed to be a fringe benefit.
