FAQs

What is the difference between type 1 and type 2 gross-up?

Type 1 generally applies where GST credits are available. Type 2 generally applies where GST credits are not available.

Does this calculate car statutory formula FBT?

No. It estimates FBT from a taxable value input rather than calculating every benefit type from source data.
