ATO: Snapping up devices for your staff in the sales?

You want to give your employees the right tools to do their job… but what about fringe benefits tax?
The good news is from 1 April 2016 you can supply employees with more than one work-related portable electronic device without having to pay FBT.
​
The devices can include:

• laptops
• tablets
• calculators
• GPS navigation receivers
• mobile phones.

Remember - you can buy the devices anytime, but don’t give them to your employees before 1 April 2016 if you want to take advantage of this new concession for small businesses.
