RM 9: Calculations for attributed and non-attributed fringe benefits

You could also call this:

“How FBT payments work for different types of fringe benefits”

When you choose to pay fringe benefit tax (FBT) under sections RD 47 to RD 53, which are about attributed fringe benefits and non-attributed fringe benefits, this section applies to you.

If you calculate the FBT on attributed fringe benefits or non-attributed fringe benefits and the result is negative, you don’t have to pay anything. Instead, the Commissioner will give you back money equal to the amount you’re short.
