Government changes to the FBT rules. The changes announced in the 2011 budget to the
calculation of FBT have now been passed by
parliament.
The reform means that historical statutory rates for
calculating FBT will be replaced with a single rate of 20
percent that applies regardless of the distance
travelled. The changes will be phased in over four
years.
These changes simplify the salary packaging of your
car.
If you drive from zero km’s up to 24,999 km’s a year you
no longer need to worry about tracking to a kilometre
target.
If you own, use, or are thinking about buying a car you
may be able to generate substantial income tax
and GST savings by salary packaging your car even if you don’t drive to work.

One of our experienced consultants will explain to you how a novated lease works and determine a budget for all the expenses for running your car.
Your consultant will then calculate the minimum amount of post-tax deductions to ensure there is no FBT to pay and all the rest of the costs of your car are deducted from your pre-tax salary saving you money.
