Do you people and your employer get to pay taxes on staff travel and other freebies ?
In Australia,
Fringe Benefit Tax has been in place since the early '90s.
It would also have included car rentals, hotel rooms, in short everything that makes this profession a nice one.
You're sure?? Items accrued in order to complete a job of work - like a hotel room on a trip - are not benefits. I find it difficult to believe these would have been included.
