1. FBT Basics:
   • If you’re an employer offering staff perks, it’s time to deal with fringe benefits tax (FBT).
   • FBT applies to benefits provided to employees in addition to their salary and wages.
   • Examples of perks that could attract FBT include work cars for private use, gym memberships, or event tickets.
2. Steps for FBT Reporting:
   • Identify the types of fringe benefits you provide.
   • Determine the taxable value of each fringe benefit.
   • Lodge an FBT return and pay by 21 May (for self-preparers). If your tax professional lodges electronically, you have until 25 June.
3. Record Keeping:
   • Maintain good records to support your calculations and FBT position.
4. Non-Lodgment Advice:
   • If you don’t have an FBT liability for the 2023–24 FBT year and you’re registered for FBT, submit a completed FBT non-lodgment advice form.
   • First-time lodgers through a tax professional should contact them before 21 May to ensure eligibility for the June lodgment and payment date.
