Employers providing benefits
For businesses providing vehicles, entertainment, loans, reimbursements or other benefits that may need to be considered for fringe benefits tax.
Other Business Taxes & Reporting
Stay on top of the business tax obligations that sit outside your usual BAS and income tax work.
Fringe benefits tax, payroll tax and TPAR obligations can be easy to overlook because they do not always form part of the regular BAS or annual tax return process. I help identify what applies, review the underlying records and manage the calculations and reporting required.

Who this is for
For businesses with extra reporting obligations beyond BAS and annual tax returns.

Growing payrolls
For employers approaching or exceeding state payroll tax thresholds, or operating across more than one state or territory.

Common questions
Other Business Taxes & Reporting FAQs.
What is fringe benefits tax?
Fringe benefits tax can apply when an employer provides certain benefits to employees or their associates in addition to salary and wages. Common examples include cars, entertainment, expense payments and some loans or reimbursements.
When might payroll tax apply?
Payroll tax is a state or territory tax that may apply when taxable wages exceed the relevant threshold. Grouping rules, interstate wages and some contractor payments can also affect the calculation.
What is a TPAR?
A Taxable Payments Annual Report provides details of certain payments made to contractors. It applies to specified industries and activities, and the report is generally prepared from supplier and payment information in the accounting records.
Can you check whether I need to register or lodge?
Yes. I can review the relevant business activities and records to help determine whether an obligation is likely to apply and what information is needed before anything is registered or lodged.
Can these obligations be handled with my regular accounting work?
Yes. Where practical, the reviews and reporting can be coordinated with your bookkeeping, payroll, BAS and annual accounting work so the same information is not requested multiple times.
