    Checklist2

    Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) Compliance

    Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) applies to certain non-cash benefits provided to employees, such as private health insurance, vehicle usage, or entertainment expenses. As an employer, businesses must lodge an FBT return annually and disclose benefits through Single Touch Payroll (STP). activpayroll helps in preparing and lodging FBT returns, ensuring compliance with Australian tax regulations and minimizing potential liabilities.

    Checklist(1)

    Employee Share Scheme (ESS) Reporting

    Employee share income is subject to specific Australian tax regulations under the Employee Share Scheme (ESS) provisions. Employers must issue ESS statements to employees by 14 July and submit an ESS Annual Report to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) by 15 August. Our services help businesses navigate reporting requirements, ensuring all taxable values are correctly recorded and submitted on time.
