    Reform of salary sacrificed 'in-house' fringe benefits 

    End of find out more

    Changes have been made to the FBT law to remove the concessional treatment of in-house expense payment fringe benefits provided under a salary packaging arrangement entered into on or after 22 October 2012. Transitional rules apply where an existing salary packaging arrangement was entered into before 22 October 2012.

     

    Example: Calculate expense payment fringe benefits

    An employer pays an employee's home telephone bills of $1,200 for the FBT year. The employee provides the employer with a declaration stating that 50% of the bills are for business purposes and are, as a result, otherwise deductible. The other 50% of the calls are private calls.

    The employer calculates the expense payment as follows:

    $1,200 x 50% = $600

    The employer shows this at item 23 as follows:
