Track and Report
Our on-demand and real time FBT reporting analyses FBT data from within expense manager and simplifies the return process.
The FBT Report can be run at any point in time across a number of criteria including a date range, status, category, cost centre, expense type (only FBT related expense types are available) and by claimant.
A gross up factor and tax rate is defaulted to the report. If a company is eligible to claim a minor benefit exception amount this can also be entered in the report criteria and excluded from the report.

What is Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)?
FBT is a tax employers pay on certain benefits they provide to their employees, their families, or associates in place of wages or salaries. These benefits can include things like company cars, meal allowances, or entertainment expenses. The tax is separate from income tax and calculated on the taxable value of the fringe benefits provided.
Why is accurate FBT tracking important?
How can automated tracking software help with FBT compliance?
What is the 50/50 method for tracking FBT, and how does it work?
The 50/50 method is a simplified way of calculating FBT for entertainment expenses, such as meals, drinks, or staff functions. Under this method, 50% of all entertainment expenses are deemed taxable and subject to FBT, while the other 50% is considered non-taxable.
This approach eliminates the need to distinguish between employees, their associates, or clients when calculating FBT liability. However, businesses must still maintain accurate records of all entertainment expenses to apply the method correctly and demonstrate compliance.
What is the actual method for tracking FBT, and how does it work?
The actual method for tracking FBT involves calculating the exact taxable value of fringe benefits based on detailed records of their use. For entertainment expenses, this means identifying and recording who benefited (e.g., employees, associates, or clients) and apportioning the costs accordingly. Only the portion of the expense provided to employees and their associates is subject to FBT.
This method offers greater accuracy and may result in a lower FBT liability than the simplified 50/50 method. However, it requires meticulous record-keeping, including participant details, dates, and the nature of the expenses.
