What happens if I reach the FBT exemption cap early?

RemServ monitors your salary packaging account and will notify you if you reach your limit prior to the end of the FBT year.

If this happens, we will postpone any further payments on benefits that contribute towards your cap until the new FBT year, which begins on 1 April 2020. This won't affect payments to benefits that fall outside your limit - such as additional superannuation, work-related expenses and/or portable electronic devices.
