About This Webinar
"FBT is seen by many as a ""red tape"" tax - a waste of time that clients won't want to pay for.

But now that the ATO has identified a $1 billion gap and has publicised its intent to close it, it's an area we must take seriously.

The ATO expects tax agents will engage with their clients around FBT, so it’s up to you to educate your clients on the need to lodge an FBT Report and how it’s a small price to pay to limit the time for an FBT audit. "
Agenda
  • Learn how lodging an FBT Return every year – even a NIL return - reduces risk for your practice and clients.
  • Hear how to educate your clients on the importance and benefits of lodging a FBT Return.
  • Get tips on overcoming client objections to lodging FBT Returns for the first time.
  • Hear directly from Paul Mather, an FBT expert with over 25 years of hands-on Employment Taxes & Salary Packaging experience.
