A better way to value your parking fringe benefits tax

February 25, 2012 The Car Parking Guru No comments

FBTme is providing a low cost and highly efficient fringe benefits tax car parking valuation service. With national coverage we can help with all of your parking at every office.

Unlike other parking consultants, FBTme is teamed up with FBT expert Paul Mather who has over 15 years experience and currently sits on the Australian Tax Office National Tax Liaison Committee who reviews and signs off on every report.

This provides both piece of mind and ensures accuracy for tax purposes (not to mention a great back up if you were ever to get audited by the ATO).

All parking rates are presented in a ‘file ready’ report which notes the details of the assessment and the rate to use – just plug in the number and you are right to go! Here is a sample report.

Reports are competitively priced starting from $449 (if you have several multiple car parks we can do your a bulk discount so just get in touch via parking@fbtme.com.au)!

For more information – www.fbtme.com.au

Take the burden out of your fringe benefits tax return preparation this year!
