Hi
If a company pays income tax return service fee for employee to tax agent, is the fee subject to FBT?

Hiya @NHFA,
Yes it's an expense fringe benefit. It may qualify for a minor benefits exemption, depending on the amount you are paying.
If it's more than $300 then your FBT liability can be reduced in full or partially if it's an expense the client would get a deduction for if they paid themselves. You can read more in the FBT guide - chapter 9
