Aggregate non-exempt amount (hospitals, ambulances, public benevolent institutions and health promotion charities only)

Public and non-profit hospitals have a capping threshold placed on the amount of FBT exempt fringe benefits that may be provided to employees.

Public ambulance services also qualify for this concession.

Where employees have been provided with benefits above the $17,000 threshold, the employer will be subject to FBT on its aggregate non-exempt amount. This amount is calculated using the same steps as a public benevolent institution or a health promotion charity (see Public benevolent institutions and health promotion charities) other than at step 8 of the calculation, which should be as follows:
