Aggregate non-exempt amount (hospitals, ambulances, public benevolent institutions and health promotion charities only)

Public and non-profit hospitals have a capping threshold placed on the amount of FBT exempt fringe benefits that may be provided to employees. The concessional FBT treatment to these hospitals is capped at $17,667 of the grossed-up taxable value of fringe benefits provided to each employee. Public ambulance services also qualify for this concession.

Where employees have been provided with benefits above the $17,667 threshold, the employer will be subject to FBT on its aggregate non-exempt amount. This amount is calculated using the same steps as a public benevolent institution or a health promotion charity (see Public benevolent institutions and health promotion charities) other than at step 8 of the calculation, which should be as follows:

Step	Action
8	Subtract $17,667 from the individual grossed-up non-exempt amount for each employee. If the individual grossed-up non-exempt amount is less than or equal to $17,667, the amount calculated under this step is nil.
