It's time to prepare your practice for fringe benefits tax (FBT) lodgments.
Request an FBT client list, through Practice mail in Online services for agents, to check your clients are listed and who needs to lodge an FBT return.
You must add new clients to your FBT client list by 21 May 2026 to ensure they are covered by your lodgment program.
The due date to both lodge and pay is:
- 25 June 2026 if you lodge electronically through the practitioner lodgment service (PLS)
- 21 May 2026 if you lodge by paper.
If your clients don't need to lodge an FBT return, notify us by submitting the FBT non-lodgment advice form. We recommend you submit the form as early as possible as processing may take up to 28 days around peak lodgment dates.
We have a range of information that you can share with your clients to help them understand their fringe benefits tax obligations.
