C – Loans granted

Last updated 21 March 2017

A loan fringe benefit arises where you provide a loan to an employee and charge a low rate of interest (or no interest). Item C is the number of loans you made that gave rise to taxable fringe benefits and the taxable value of those benefits.

Therefore, do not show the amount of the actual loans in the 'Gross taxable value (a)' column.

Start of example

Example 12: Taxable value of loan fringe benefits

You are a retail business and lend an employee $20,000. You did not charge interest and the employee made no repayments during the FBT year.

The calculation based on the statutory (or benchmark) interest rate that applies from 1 April 2016 is:

$20,000 x 5.65% = $1,130

You would write at item 23:
