Fringe benefits are additional income tax which means consideration for employment privileges that is provided to the employees by the employers. . Mainly it can be said that these are the additional advantage that can be given by the employers for the retaining their employees. In this process the employer is liable to pay tax on behalf of the employee (Piketty, Saez & Stantcheva, 2014). In this case the fringe benefits incurred bySapphire Stables Private Limited are as follows:

1. Entertainment
2. Transportation
3. Accommodations
4. Hospitality
5. Lodging

7. Boarding.  

The above are the fringe benefits that are incurred by the company for the welfare of the employees. For all these benefits provided by the employee the company has to pay taxes on the behalf of the employees to the tax system of the country (Vandenberg & Sharma, 2016).

Determining any penalties applicable to the franking accounting and late lodgment of BAS

There are penalties that are applicable on late payment of tax through BAS and if the company lodges late tax return the company is liable to pay penalties to Australia Tax Department.

Notice of objection against assessment

To Deputy Commissioner of Taxation

 In the process of evaluating the Assessment Notice on 1.07.2017, I object that the total sum of rent is accommodated is $ 88,000

According to the deductions that the company has submitted you the rent expenses amounted to $ 88,000. You reported back as describing that the rent amount that is to be taxable is $ 44,000 rather than $ 88,000 which is appropriate. It is to consider that there are various factors which are have been overlooked while making the decision. As per the company's convenience the landlord charges $ 88,000 as rent for the occupied space which is being used by the company for commercial use. Hence it can be said that the total amount of the rent expenses that is paid by the company is $ 88,000. So it becomes very evident that the company is using the whole space provided by the landlord so the whole amount is subjected to be taxable under Australian taxation office.   So, I would recommend that there are some amendments that are to be made in order to revalue the rent expenses. According to the Australian Taxation office all the expenses which are used for the commercial use of a company is taxable under the Australian taxation system. This states that the rent paid for the commercial use of space provided is taxable under taxation system of Australia. According to the landlord deed with the company it is seen that the space occupied by the company is precisely for commercial use which states that the whole amount of rent paid is taxable. The company receipt also describes the same. So it recommended that the amount is changed from $ 44,000 to $ 88,000.

Please go through the rent receipt received by the landlord to make sure that the rent paid amounted to $ 88,000 for the space used by the company fully for the commercial use of the organization.   

Please consider this and kindly update the assessment notice accordingly.
