    1. On an annual basis, SalaryPackagingPLUS will perform a reconciliation between the collected Fringe Benefits Tax and the calculated liability to pay Fringe Benefits Tax for each benefit provided to you and will report such results of this to your employer.

Benefits provided are exempt from FBT if the total grossed-up value of certain benefits (which are benefits that are not otherwise exempt) provided to you during the FBT year is equal to, or less than, the capping threshold. If the total grossed-up value of fringe benefits provided to you is more than the capping threshold, FBT will be payable on the excess.
    3. You agree to compensate your employer, either by way of additional pre-tax salary deduction or direct payment, for any Fringe Benefits Tax amounts payable in relation to your Salary Packaged Benefits. You authorise SalaryPackagingPLUS to deduct any such FBT amount incurred without your further specific approval.
    4. Nothing in this clause makes you liable for any Fringe Benefits Tax amounts payable due to a breach of these Terms & Conditions by, or the negligence of, SalaryPackagingPLUS.
    5. You have a reportable fringe benefits amount if the total taxable value of certain fringe benefits provided to you or your associate exceeds $2,000 in an FBT year. Your employer is required to gross-up this amount up using the Type 2 FBT gross up rate and report it on your payment summary.
