Exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) This option is available for Fringe Benefits, if the company is exempt from FBT (as determined by the options on the Employer details section of the Setup Payroll window). When an employer is exempt from FBT, it is still possible for employees for an employee to perform some duties that are exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax, and some duties that are not. You can edit this option to control whether or not individual Fringe Benefits are exempt from FBT.
