This question is about reportable fringe benefits amounts that you received. Do not show any benefit less than $3,921.
This question has changed. The Government has made changes to the treatment of fringe benefits under the income tests for family assistance, youth income support payments and for other related purposes.
As we provide information on reportable fringe benefits to Services Australia, we have changed how you show these benefits on your income tax return.
This change does not affect your income tax liability for 2016-17.
Did you receive any reportable fringe benefits amounts of $3,921 or more?
