Fringe Benefits Tax

Since 1986 the Australian Government has taxed employers on most non-cash benefits they provide to their employees in respect of employment. The tax is known as Fringe Benefits Tax. The tax is levied on the employer and not the employee, however, it is common for the employer to pass on the tax to the employee in salary sacrifice arrangements.

Generally, a fringe benefit is a non-cash benefit paid to an employee. The benefit may be in addition to a salary or the only benefit provided to an employee. The fringe benefit can benefit an individual, their spouse or their child/ren.

The rate corresponds to the top marginal income tax rate for individuals, including the Medicare Levy (47% for the Fringe Benefits Tax year ending 31 March 2018).

We moved to Caloundra 5 months ago and were looking for a local accountant for our business and personal tax as well as our SMSF accounting. Everyone at Wardle Partners that we have dealt with have really made our transition easy, they are all very friendly and professional so we have no trouble in recommending them.

The team at Wardle Partners have been outstanding to deal with. Having moved to them over 12 months ago our business has benefited to no end, I now have my life back instead of being buried in bookwork. Mark you have been so on top of keeping us up to date during Covid-19, thank you. Natalie Powell you are a gem, the care and attention to detail you look after us is so appreciated. Thanks guys, keep up the good work. Bruce & Chrissy Morton. Troia's Cleaning Service
