How we have saved clients on their historical (ATO refund) and ongoing car parking FBT liability
We have saved clients thousands of dollars on their car parking FBT liability by providing lower commercial parking rates within a 1km radius of their office locations. For example, many employers value their car parking fringe benefits in the Sydney CBD at over $20 per day. In the past, we have been able to source commercial parking rates within a 1km radius as low as $12 per day. The $8 difference per parking space per day can result in significant savings for employers!
We can help you in Identifying the lowest daily rate within 1 kilometer
This is the most significant area where FBT savings can be made.
Whether you value your car parking fringe benefits using any of the following methods or a combination of these methods:
- Actual days;
- Statutory formula method;
- 12 week register method;
- Average cost method; or
- Commercial parking station method
We can help you to reduce your FBT liability. Companies, Accounting firms and Government organisations request our services for a number of reasons:
- Peace of Mind– we undertake a quality assessment to ensure that where FBT is payable, it is minimised and supported with the appropriate documentation; and where it is not payable, substantiation is provided.
- Saving You Time– there is a considerable cost of your time in researching, measuring and applying the FBT law.
- Accuracy and Saving– you will receive the lowest rate within 1km of the employer provided parking, so you will not be paying more tax than required. We often identify rates lower than those you may find yourself, which can mean large savings on FBT liability.
- Valid Methodology– our process adopts the methodology accepted by the ATO to ensure accuracy and compliance.
- Multiple Locations– many organisations have multiple locations across Australia and this can be logistically challenging for employers. We survey car parks Australia wide and have sourced the cheapest rates in each of these locations.
- No Job Too Small– we can help you, whether you have 1 or 100 locations.
- Retrospective Refunds– the lodgement of a FBT return is on a self assessment basis. Therefore, if you think you’ve paid too much FBT on your car parking historically, then you may be able to claim a refund from the ATO.
