Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) Year End – 31 March

With the FBT year-end approaching, now is the time to review any fringe benefits provided to employees throughout the year.

These benefits can often be overlooked but may give rise to FBT obligations. Common examples include:
🚗 Company vehicles available for private use
🍽️ Staff meals, functions and entertainment
🎁 Gift cards, vouchers and staff gifts
📱 Phones, laptops and other items with personal use
🏡 Living-away-from-home or accommodation benefits
✈️ Travel or expense reimbursements

To assist with this process, our FBT questionnaire has been emailed to our clients. This is an important step in identifying any benefits provided during the FBT year and ensuring your obligations are accurately reported.

Quick actions to keep things moving smoothly:
📸 31 March – snap odometer readings for all employer-provided vehicles
🧾Keep attendee lists for any staff entertainment or gifts, including per-head costs
✅ Complete and return your FBT questionnaire promptly so we can finalise your FBT obligations on time.

If you’re unsure whether something is a fringe benefit or exempt, or have any questions, we’re here to help!

🏆 Team Member Spotlight:
A Winning Weekend for Andrew Ferrier

A massive congratulations to our very own Andrew Ferrier on winning the cricket Grand Final on the weekend with Emerald Cricket Club. What made the occasion even more special was being able to share the moment with both his sons, Jack and Tom, who many of us have enjoyed having around the MJC office during the school holidays over the past 12 months.

This marks the club’s second premiership for the season, with the Under 16s also claiming their Grand Final — a team Tom was proudly part of as well.

An incredible achievement all around — well done Andrew, Jack and Tom! 🏏👏

Celebrating 30 Years! 🎉

This month we’re celebrating an incredible milestone — 30 years with Suzi Joseph!

Suzi joined us back in 1996… a year when:
📺 Friends was one of the biggest shows on TV
🎬 Independence Day was dominating the box office
🎵 The Spice Girls were telling us what they really, really wanted
💻 The internet was just starting to appear in workplaces
📱 And mobile phones were still the size of a brick!

As MJC Director Andrew Ferrier shared with our whole team "Over the past three decades, Suzi has been part of our growth, our milestones, and our journey. Her experience, dedication, and commitment have made a lasting impact, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything she brings to the team"

Congratulations on 30 amazing years — what a milestone! 👏

Here’s to celebrating everything you’ve achieved and the memories still to come.

🎉 Celebrating 20 years at MJC - Angie Ritchie! 🎉

As MJC CEO Chris Simmons shared with the whole team:
“When you started here 20 years ago, this place, and this role - looked very different. You’ve seen us through paper files, systems changes, growth, and a few ‘figure it out as we go’ moments.

What stands out most isn’t just how long you’ve been here, it’s how you’ve kept learning and adapting every step of the way. You never stayed stuck in ‘this is how we’ve always done it’. You grew with the role and helped the rest of us grow too.

Your knowledge goes beyond tasks and systems, you understand the history, the people, and the why behind the work. So much of what works well here today does so because of the care and consistency you bring.

Twenty years is an incredible milestone, and we’re truly grateful, not just for your time, but for the commitment, adaptability, and heart you bring to this place. Thank you for everything you’ve done, and everything you continue to do.”

Angie, congratulations on an amazing milestone - and thank you for everything you bring to MJC. 👏💛
