Work cars: Are employers overlooking private use?

The ATO is calling on employers to check how their employees use work cars, as FBT may apply where a car is used or made available for private use by an employee or their family members or associates. 

Private use can include:

  • doing school pick-ups or drop-offs (even if it is on the way to or from work);

  • running personal errands;

  • garaging the car at or near the employee's home (even for security reasons); and

  • taking the car on weekend recreational trips.
