The minimum wage increase is now in effect — is your business prepared for the impact?

Back in December 2025, Workplace Relations and Safety Minister, Brooke van Velden, announced a planned rise in the adult minimum wage. From 1 April 2026, the adult minimum wage increased to $23.95 per hour, with training and starting-out wages rising to $19.16 per hour.

For businesses with multiple minimum wage employees, these increases can quickly add pressure to payroll costs and cashflow.

Are you up to speed with the recent changes to Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT)?

From April 2026, updates to FBT rules may affect how your business treats certain employee benefits — including gift cards, motor vehicles, and health & safety equipment.

In some cases, employers now have more flexibility to apply either:
✔ FBT, or
✔ PAYE treatment through employment income.

While the changes offer more options, they also make it more important to review whether your current approach is still compliant.

If your business provides employee benefits such as:
• Company vehicles
• Health insurance
• Staff discounts
• Gift cards or allowances

…it’s worth checking whether the tax treatment is still correct under the new rules.

📩 DFK OGC can help you review your employee benefits and ensure you’re applying the right FBT treatment with confidence.
