Fringe Benefits Tax

A fringe benefit is a ‘payment’ to an employee, but in a different form to salary or wages.

According to the fringe benefits tax (FBT) legislation, a fringe benefit is a benefit provided in respect of employment.  This effectively means a benefit provided to somebody because they are an employee.  The ‘employee’ may even be a former or future employee.

Fringe benefits include rights, privileges or services.   Some examples are:
When an employer;

  • allows an employee to use a work car for private use
  • gives an employee a cheap loan
  • pays an employee’s gym membership
  • provides entertainment by the way of free tickets to concerts
  • reimburses an expense incurred by an employee, such as school fees, and
  • gives benefits sunder a salary sacrifice arrangement with an employee
