FBT refers to fringe benefits taxation. To pay this, an organisation should aware about the taxation obligation.
- C) Type 1 = Fringe benefit amount * [(FBT rate + GST rate ) / (1- FBT rate ) * (1 + GST rate ) *FBT rate] (Fletcher and Guttmann, 2013)
Fringe benefit amount = Audi care ($15000)
FBT rate = 49%
GST Rate = 10%
= $15000 * [(0. 49 + 0.10) / (1- 0.49) * (1+0.1)
= $15000 * [(0.59) / (0.51) *(1.1)
= $15000 * [(0.59) / (0.561)
= $15000 * 1.05
= $15775
Gross up Fringe type 1 = $15775 * 2.1463
= $33858
Type 2 = Fringe benefit amount * (1/(1-FBT rate)) (Jordan, 2012)
Fringe benefit amount = medical costs + overseas travel + Loan Benefit
= $4800 + $5000 + $5100
= $14900
= $14900 * [1/ (1-0.49)]
= $14900 * [1/ (0.51)]
= $14900 * 1.96
= $29215
Gross up Fringe type 2 = $29215 * 1.9608
