The ATO recently released a new ruling about the requirements for FBT exemption for benefits provided to religious practitioners. This ruling is a re-write of TR 92/17W, and there are no major changes to the overall ATO view.
The ruling provides clearer guidance on the Commissioner’s view on the meaning of:
- registered religious institution
- religious practitioner
- pastoral duties and directly related religious activities
The ruling also provides practical examples to explain how certain benefits will be exempt from FBT when provided to religious practitioners.
