Possibly.

There're a few ways you can look at this. Remember, it's up to the business to work out the value of the benefit and what those are.

Let's say the business includes the monthly fee as a fringe benefit. It'll pay FBT on it.

On the other hand it can fall under operating expenses where you can claim a deduction for it once the eligibility criteria have been met.
