FBT · Fringe benefits tax returns
FBT returns with benefit categories that add up.
Prepare the FBT return across benefit categories — cars, loans, housing, entertainment and the rest — with the employer details, gross-up calculations and review evidence in one place.
Registered Tax Agent use only. Confirm practice eligibility and lodgement authority before transmitting any return.
Step 1
Benefit category items
Each benefit category follows the official form structure with type-aware fields and diagnostics.
Step 2
Employer and agent details
Employer identity, addresses and contact records are captured once and reused across FBT years.
Step 3
Evidence and review
Supporting schedules, documents and reviewer decisions stay attached to the FBT job record.
Step 4
Instalments in the activity statement
FBT instalment fields flow through the BAS/IAS workspace, keeping the annual return and instalment cycle consistent. Lodgement-readiness controls, SBR transport configuration, and EVTE conformance status are visible in-product; external ATO approvals and enabled interactions are published with explicit boundaries in the Trust Center.

Fringe benefits tax returns: common questions
Does the workspace cover FBT instalments as well as the annual return?
Yes — instalment amounts, variations and estimated FBT flow through the activity statement workspace, while the annual return keeps its own record and review trail.
