Not-for-profit organisation operating partly as an eligible public benevolent institution

Warning:
This information may not apply to the current year. Check the content carefully to ensure it is applicable to your circumstances.
End of attention
You are a not-for-profit organisation, part of which is eligible for FBT exemption (as you are a public benevolent institution (PBI) employer) and the rest of the organisation is a rebatable employer. You paid instalments of $16,000 during the FBT year.
You have a fringe benefits taxable amount of $150,000 for the year ending on 31 March 2019 made up of:
- $105,000 type 1 car fringe benefits valued using the statutory formula method (type 1 aggregate amount of $50,476 × 2.0802)
- $33,000 type 2 expense payment benefits (type 2 aggregate amount of $17,490 × 1.8868)
- an aggregate non-exempt amount of $12,000, which is for residual benefits for a third employee who is employed in the eligible public benevolent institution part of the organisation. The employee received a total of $42,000 in residual benefits during the year.
You have two employees in the rebatable part of your organisation with individual grossed-up non-rebatable amounts greater than $30,000. One employee has an amount of $50,000, and the other has an amount of $45,000.
The calculation of the aggregate non-rebatable amount is as follows:
($50,000 − $30,000) + ($45,000 − $30,000) × 47% = $16,450.00
Add to this amount the tax payable on the aggregate non-exempt amount ($12,000 × 47%) = $5,640.00
$16,450.00 + $5,640.00 = $22,090.00.
The calculation of the amount of rebate is as follows:
- 0.47 × (amount of tax payable − aggregate non-rebatable amount).
The amount of tax payable is 47% of the fringe benefits taxable amount, which equates to gross tax of $70,500 (0.47 × $150,000).
The rebate calculation is:
- 0.47 × ($70,500.00 − $22,090.00) = $22,752.70.
