forrestd Member 80 Member For: 22y 4m 18d Posted 06/08/03 02:27 PM Share Posted 06/08/03 02:27 PM I today received a written response from the ATO on this FBT exemption thing. I asked them to confirm that a regular office worker in the finance industry can claim the FBT exemption for these cars (under the private use conditions of course) under a novated lease arrangement.Guess what?... it was a bit fat..YES!In writing, signed by the deputy commissioner of taxation.I have since told the salary packaging people, who previously told me I would have to be a 'tradesman' carrying around a bunch of tools in the tray in order to claim the exemption.They were wrong. If I took their advice I would be out of pocket $18k over lease term. And they are supposed to be the experts..... So Joe Programmer working anywhere can take out a novated lease on certain "commercial" cars and effective pay hald the monthly lease payment.......
