FBT on Utes – Do I have to pay FBT on my ute?

Good news for you an employee’s private use of a taxi or a panel van, utility (ute) or other commercial vehicle is exempt from fringe benefits tax (FBT) if their private use is limited to:

  • travel between home and work
  • travel that is incidental to travel in the course of employment duties
  • non-work-related use that is minor, infrequent and irregular (such as occasional use of the vehicle to remove domestic rubbish).
