FBT calculation support
Catch-e values the car fringe benefit under both the statutory formula and the operating cost method, taking the base value and the vehicle’s actual usage into account, then applies the method that produces the lower taxable value.
- Statutory formula on base value at the 20% rate
- Operating cost method from running costs
- Days-available and part-year proration handled
- Lower-value method selected and shown side by side
Reducing FBT to nil with the Employee Contribution Method
Post-tax contributions are collected each pay to match the taxable value, reducing the residual taxable value, and the FBT liability, to nil. Catch-e sizes the contribution and splits pre-tax and post-tax deductions automatically.
- Post-tax contribution sized to the taxable value
- FBT liability reduced to nil, avoiding an FBT bill
- Pre-tax and post-tax deduction split per pay cycle
- Recalculated whenever the taxable value changes
FBT year-end reporting
At the 31 March FBT year-end, Catch-e produces reporting relevant to each vehicle’s usage and value, feeding the FBT return and the reportable fringe benefits amount for employee payment summaries, with the ECM offset carried through.
- Aligned to the 1 April – 31 March FBT year
- Per-vehicle taxable value and usage roll-up
- Reportable fringe benefits amounts grossed up correctly
- Feeds the FBT return and payment summaries
