Q2:
Many organisations in Australia look to thank their employees with a Christmas
function. Some of these functions are held on premises, where a caterer is brought in,
some are held externally. Some functions are held off-site, such as a function centre, a
restaurant or even in public areas such as parks. Often companies will also give
employees a gift as well.
You are required to discuss all FBT and GST implications for a business looking to hold
such a function, giving consideration to the threshold, on/off-site, just employees
invited, where associates such as partners are invited and even major clients. You
should consider the gift planned is a Christmas hamper valued at $110.00 (inclusive of
GST). Ensure all areas of relevant sections of FBTAA are included. You are to consider
that the organisation has not elected to use Div 9A.
