Client survey reveals BFS is on track

2 July 2012

Lindsay Garnock, Director of BFS, was extremely pleased with the results of the survey, given the challenging market conditions over recent years.

FBT and commercial vehicles

FBT and commercial vehicles

2 July 2012

A common question, particularly from farming and tradesmen clients, at the start of the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) year is whether a work vehicle provided to an employee is FBT free, and if there is a difference between providing a car or a commercial vehicle (such as a dual-cab utility).

The carbon tax and the carbon farming initiative explained

2 July 2012

The Australian Government has introduced a carbon tax on each tonne of emissions produced by industry, with the aim to reduce Australia’s carbon pollution by 5 per cent by 2020 (measured against the base year of 2000). The tax will commence from the 1st July this year.
 
The carbon price will be fixed for the first three years 
and then be replaced by a market driven system referred to as an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) from 1 July 2015. The price or tax will start at $23 per tonne of CO2e (“e” represents “equivalents” as it is not just carbon dioxide that is measured) and will rise by 2.5 per cent annually over a three-year period.
