NFP Sector Tax Concession Survey

Results of a recent survey with sector employees and employers will form part of a response to the discussion paper released by the NFP Sector Tax Concession Working Group. In excess of 3,000 employee and 100 employer responses were received - a standing testament to the importance of these issues to the sector. Overall the findings reinforce the underlying core value of FBT concessions in attracting and retaining employees to the sector, the relative simplicity of administering the concessions and the potential consequences should significant change to the current concessions regime occur.
