Mr Dutton asked the Treasurer, in writing, on 25 June 2009:

What sum of Fringe Benefits Tax revenue from businesses which provide private health insurance membership to employees does the Government expect to receive in the 2008-09 and 2009-10 financial years.


Mr Swan (Treasurer) —The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:

The fringe benefits tax revenue collected due to employer-provided private health insurance is unquantifiable, as this type of fringe benefit is not separately identified on fringe benefits tax returns submitted by businesses. Private health insurance fringe benefits fall into the ‘Other benefits (residual)’ category on the fringe benefits tax return, along with various other types of fringe benefits.
