A TFN is obtained at the same time as an Australian Business Number (ABN), using the same application form. This can be done through the Australian Business Register.
Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) can apply where a benefit is provided to an employee (in respect of their employment). This could take many forms, including provision of a motor vehicle, payment of school fees, provision of car parks and gym memberships etc.
FBT is paid by the company and is equivalent to the highest marginal tax rate for individuals. More information regarding FBT can be found on the ATO website, or through a consultation with Acclime’s tax advisors.
