Anybody who has a Fringe Benefits Tax obligation should take an odometer reading of motor
vehicles
.
This reading is one of the annual requirements of the logbook method of fringe benefits calculations for the Fringe Benefits Tax period ending 31 st March 2023

categories of fringe benefits and specific valuation rules for each category. The list below outlines what needs to be considered.
