Question

Allan’s employer purchased a car in March 2019 at a cost of $44,000 GST inclusive and provided the car to Allan on 1 July 2019. Allan garages the car at his home each night from 1 July 2019 to 31 March 2020, excluding the month of December 2019. Allan travelled 40,000 kilometres in the car during the year, and the odometer and logbook records show that 20,000 kilometres were for business purposes and 20,000 kilometres were for private purposes. The operating costs of the car (not including deemed depreciation and deemed interest) were $9,000 (GST inclusive). Allan did not make any contribution but provided all the necessary documents for his employer to calculate his FBT liability.
