Hello,
I currently have a novated lease on a hybrid vehicle that qualifies for the FBT exemption. I’m employed by the Federal Government, and transferred from Services Austrailia to the Department of Finance recently I have now lost my FBT exemption on the Hybrid as they said I had a change of circumstances and the Department of finance use a different deed. Nothing has changed with my financier or my novated leasing company, but Smart Salary said I can no longer have the exemption and have added a post tax deduction. The financial impact is huge. This doesn't sound correct or within the spirit of the policy of the Discount Bill intent anyone have any thoughts on this. I thought being an member of the APS the benefit would be the same across departments.
