Attracting skilled or professional staff to work in regional areas can be difficult. Employers continue to offer packages that include various non-cash benefits, many of which attract Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT). This session will discuss the tax implications for employers of providing such remuneration packages to regional and remote workforces.
Topics covered include:
- The conditions for concessional FBT treatment
- FBT exempt benefits and their requirements
- Other employment tax implications arising from FBT; and
- FBT tips and traps for primary production employers.
