good video Davie. Consider the FBT is actually Tax Deductible. Even though it is 47%, once you get a tax deduction of 25%, it makes it average out around 35.25% actual cost. Compare this to personal tax rates of around 34.5% over $45k, and there isn't much in it. derek

Thanks for the vid. Can you explain novated leasing or purchasing vehicles on a leasing agreement?
@DavieMach
@DavieMach 2 года назад
its similar if you own the business. Doesnt impact the tax differently. I always recommend to business owners to just go on leasing agreement or hire purchase loan. Dont bother with novated leasing. This is only beneficial if you are an employee of a company as the company pays for the expenses and taxes. I dont go into detail on the benefits for novated lease for employees as its not my specialty. I work with businesses.

Hi mate! Great video. I have a dog wash mobile business. Working 5 days a week. what’s the percentage of the car you’d claim as business? About %70? And also I’m looking into expanding the business and getting another car and another trailer. The car would be a 40k Ute and I would buy under a car loan with a deposit. When I buy under a loan and not upfront do I still get to claim the 40k straight away + the 10% gst back? Or I can only claim the deposit + how many instalments I’ve paid until the time of that BAS? Thanks mate

Awesome video mate. Very helpful. Do you recommend buying a Ute under my business outright or finance and is there a difference?
@DavieMach
@DavieMach 2 года назад
thats all about opportunity cost of the cash. Finance allows you to keep the cash and invest it else where in the business. but if you have no use of it then maybe its better to use the cash to buy outright.

Hey Davie Good vid to show differences btw buying private or under business. I got a question about how do we record the transaction when purchasing car value over the limit. Let say the 100% business car was A$60,136 paid upfront and GST incl. As the limit was $59,136, how do you record the A$1000? what category or account would you put the $1000 to? Do we cr cash and dr drawing ?

Good content thanks. Do you need to pay back the tax deduction we claimed ($59,136) when we sell the car?

No you take up the sale price as income and pay tax on that. But if you sell a car, most of the time you buy another one so the purchase offsets the sale.

is there vehicles that are FBT exempt, such as toyota Landcruiser 79series dual cab- if needed a GVM upgrade to 4200kg ?
@DavieMach
@DavieMach 2 года назад
Hi Lachlan, FBT only applies if there is an individual non-business benefit obtained from the purchase of the vehicle. If you are working in construction, then the UTE or Dual Cab is considered an FBT exempt motor vehicle and would not have FBT on it as it is considered 100% business use. Note that although the car tax limit for 2021-2022 is $60,733, if your Land Cruiser and GVM can carry a load of more than one tonne, the car tax limit does not apply to you and you can depreciate the cost of the entire vehicle. www.ato.gov.au/general/fringe-benefits-tax-(fbt)/types-of-fringe-benefits/car-fringe-benefits/fringe-benefits-tax---exempt-motor-vehicles/

It really wasn't that confusing...the simplified version is to avoid purchasing a vehicle that ISN'T a ute, truck, or van. You SHOULD purchase one of those three options (ute, truck, or van) IN YOUR BUSINESS NAME to receive the maximum benefits so basically purchase/lease a NEW G-Wagon (for example) instead of a Corvette for your business DIRECTLY FROM the dealership.
@DavieMach
@DavieMach 2 года назад
haha it would make sense but utes, trucks and vans dont fit every industry or business. I dont think the ATO will allow us accountants to claim 100% business use on an ute, truck or van.
