Question 1
Identification of material facts (issues) regarding fringe benefits provided to Nikita
Fringe benefits are benefits in addition to the compensation paid by employers to employees. Common fringe benefits include life insurance, medical insurance, company owned vehicles, stock options etc. A car fringe benefit generally arises where the employer makes the car it holds available for an employee’s private use or the car is regarded as being available.
In our case, the employer Perisher Pvt Ltd has given a car to one of its employees, Nikita, as she is involved in a lot of travelling purposes for her job. But the usage of the car is not restricted to only Nikita’s job related travelling purposes. So the material facts or issues regarding fringe benefits to Nikita is to calculate the Fringe Benefit Tax Liability for Perisher Pvt Ltd, using an appropriate valuation method and calculate the taxable value.
Identification and analysis of legal issues / legal question and relevant taxation law in regards to fringe benefits
According to FBTAA 1986, a car fringe benefit arises when:
at any time on a day, in respect of the employment of an employee, a car held by a person is made available or actually applied for the private use of an employee or his associate. That availability or application of the car can be considered as a benefit provided by the employer on that day to the employee or his associate with regards to the employee’s employment.
Legal issues or questions to be considered in this case are:
· Amount of fringe benefit given to employee
· Application or availability of the vehicle for private use
· Application for work use
· Fringe Benefit Tax Liability
Application of tax law (e.g. ITAA 1936 and ITAA 1997) to material facts in Perisher’s case.
Under ITAA 1936 sect 51AGA,
A deduction is not allowable to an employee with regards to the expenditure to the degree it has been incurred with regards of the provision of car parking facilities for a car if
a. On that day, the employee has a primary place of employment
b. The car is parked for more than 4 hours at or near the primary place of employment
c. The expenses are in regards with the provision of parking facilities
d. The car was used for travel between the employee’s residence and employment’ primary place
With regards to Fringe Benefit Tax, a car benefit is an exempt benefit if the provider cannot deduct any amount under section 86-60 of the ITAA 1997. This section limits the degree to which deductions can be made by a personal services entity, with deductions not permitted for more than one car dedicated for private usage. As the entity does not have the right to claim any income tax deductions for these cars, this is an exempt benefit.
The taxable value of a car fringe benefit using either of the following methods:
