You need to register for fringe benefit tax (FBT) when you start providing a fringe benefit. You can do this when you first register as an employer in myIR, or later if you decide to start providing employees a fringe benefit.
If you provide fringe benefits but are not registered yet, you need to back date your registration to when you first provided a fringe benefit.
You may need to file returns for earlier periods and make any outstanding payments. You can register on myIR, or call us to find out more.
Before you start
You'll need:
- the IRD number to be registered
