Mileage(km) Statutory Rates
0-14999 26%
15000-24999 20%
25000-40000 11%
40001+ 7%


For example,

Car cost: 15,000
Gross income: 150,000
Annual KMs: 7,500

FBT Taxable Value = $15,000 * 26% = 3,900
Tax saving = Car cost * tax rate = $15,000 * 40% = $6,000

Full FBT Employer:
FBT liability = Fringe Benefit Taxable Value * Gross Up rate * Fringe Benefit Tax rate = $3,900 * 2.0647 * 46.5% = $3,744
Total saving = $6,000 - $3,744 = $2,256

Rebatable FBT Employer:
FBT liability = Fringe Benefit Taxable Value * Gross Up rate * Fringe Benefit Tax rate * 52% = $3,900 * 2.0647 * 46.5% * 52% = $1,947
Total saving = $6,000 - $1,947 = $4,053

PBI (17k) or Charity Employer (30k):
Gross Up Value = Fringe Benefit Taxable Value * Gross Up rate = $8,052
FBT liability =$0
Total saving = $6,000 - $0 = $6,000


Conclusion:
The higher mileage, the higher saving.

  1. if i am on 65k plus super, would it be worth packaging a 05 model car for 21k if i plan to do 40,000kms per year?
