Fringe Benefit Tax
Your business Christmas entertainment (party & gifts) are income tax deductible if they are subject to FBT. However, there would also be tax that is payable on this expense.
Some entertainment expenses can also be non-tax deductible such as ‘Exempt benefits or Minor benefits’. If each benefit provided to an employee is less than $300, the expense may be classified as Minor Benefits and therefore not tax deductible.
