Tax Facts
Fringe Benefit Tax
Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) is a tax on
benefits that employees receive as a result of their
employment, including those benefits provided through
someone other than an employer.
The four main groups of fringe benefits are:
 |
Motor
vehicles (refer to the IRD website for more
information on how to calculate) |
 |
Low-interest
loans other than low-interest loans provided
by life insurance companies |
| |
Free, subsidised or discounted goods
and services, including subsidised transport
for employers in the public transport business |
 |
Employer
contributions to sick, accident or death benefit
funds, superannuation schemes and specified insurance
policies |
Gifts, prizes and other goods are fringe
benefits. If you pay for your employees' entertainment
or private
telecommunications use, these benefits may also
be liable for fringe benefit tax.
