So of I work for Holden and get a discount on a new car, work for Westpac and get a discounted home loan, work at Coles and get 10% discount on groceries etc...
Do it for one group...do it for all of them. You can't just single out one item in one industry and make them pay. If there is FBT on staff travel then there hold be FBT on the discounted Car, groceries and home loan.
Do like Ansett did when they began.... You didn't buy a staff travel ticket on a plane, you purchased fruit and they include a flight. I don't think there is FBT payable on fruit purchase. BNE -SYD 1 apple. If you want to fly to Perth add a banana and orange!
I'll just add the FBT to the extra 30% I'm about to pay for health insurance!
The next election cannot come soon enough!
