Providing a work car to your employees can be a great incentive.

If you provide a car to an employee for their private use, you may need to pay fringe benefits tax (FBT). You make a car available for private use by an employee on any day that the car is either:

  • actually used for private purposes by the employee, or

  • available for the private use of the employee.

A car is considered available for your employee's private use when it is:

  • used to travel to and from work

  • not at your premises and they are allowed to use it for private purposes

  • garaged at their home - regardless of whether they have permission to use it for private purposes.

For FBT purposes, a 'car' includes:

  • a sedan or station wagon

  • any other goods-carrying vehicle with a carrying capacity of less than one tonne, such as a panel van or utility (including four-wheel drive vehicles)

  • any other passenger-carrying vehicle designed to carry fewer than nine passengers.
