I was nominated for a 482 visa in Dec 2022. However, when I was applying for my tax returns for the year 2023-2024, I had a Reportable fringe benefit - Taxable employer status amount of $9000 Plus.


I paid the cost of my husband's and my visa applications, along with the company's migration agent fees, which assisted with submitting the applications to the migration agent and immigration directly. The total amount I paid was $5000 plus.

I am aware the company paid the TSS nomination fee, etc. What are the consequences of this for me? Is this how fringe tax benefits work?


Thank you

Sincerely appreciate the clarification

Hi @Sof1ana,


You'll need to have a chat with your employer why the amount is so high.


The way fringe benefits works is your employer pays for something on your behalf and we ask them to pay tax on it.


Have a look at the info on our website where it talks about how FBT works.

Hi CaroATO,


Thank you for your reply. Appreciate it. I have been trying to get to them but have not heard much back. I will continue to check-in with them. According to my tax agent- this will affect me and I will be taxed more. is this true?
