Calculate the taxable value of the benefit for Jenny's employer for the provision of the motor vehicle
Question:
Calculate the taxable value of the benefit for Jenny's employer for the provision of the motor vehicle over the quarter to 30 June 2022.
Jenny is provided with a station wagon by her employer. She uses it during the week for business purposes as she is in charge of sales. She takes it home in the evenings and is allowed to use it for her own private purposes. During the week, she folds down the backseats so there is plenty of space to carry samples of the product around. On the weekend, she often carries friends and family members in the car so the backseats are returned to their upright position.
During the quarter to 30 June, she was called out on three evenings because the alarm went off at her workplace. She had to go and check everything was OK and reset the alarm. Jenny also went to a conference in Queenstown for three days in April and visited a customer in Dannevirke for two days in May.
Jenny's employer paid $50,000 (including GST) for the car just 12 months ago.
NOTE that you only need to calculate the taxable value of the benefit, not the tax to pay.
