What are the key features of the FBT Report + Declarations App?
Lodging a FBT Return for your clients - even if nil, de-risks your practice and also your client. The smart accountant will recommend to their clients to have FBT Returns prepared and lodged each year
Key Features
Not only does the FBT Reports + Decs App create efficient and professional reports and declarations, it also educates employers about the intricacies of FBT
The smart accountant will recommend to their clients to have FBT Returns prepared and lodged each year – and this restricts the ATO to a 3 year look back period
The ATO has a risk rating system for accountants – once an accountant is flagged for FBT risk, their exposure increases across all areas of ATO compliance
