Driver FBT Reports

FBT operating and statutory reports for drivers

Driver Report Overview

The Driver Report can be:

  • Printed individually from Contracts → FBT

  • Generated in bulk from Administration → Reports

Driver Reports are designed to report the lease and FBT position of the contract at any point in time.


Available Report Variations

  • Driver FBT

  • Driver FBT Operating

  • Novated Driver

  • Novated Driver Operating

  • Novated Driver Budgeted

  • Novated Driver Budgeted Operating

  • Novated Driver Budgeted With Funds

  • Novated Driver Budgeted Operating With Funds

The content of the report depends on the nominated Contract Type of the vehicle.

When Contract Types → Details are configured, templates are selected for:

  • Statutory leases

  • Operating leases

The appropriate report is invoked based on:

Contracts → FBT → Benefit Type

This is usually:

  • Statutory

  • Operating

If the Benefit Type is set to Exempt:

  • The FBT section of the report will display

    • N/A

    • 0 values


FBT Value Logic

The Report Date determines which FBT value is used:

  • fbtvalue

  • fbtreducedvalue

The reduced value is used only if:

  • fbtreducedvalue ≠ 0.00

  • AND fbtreducedvaluedate ≠ 0000-00-00

Administration → Reports

Contracts commencing in the current reporting month are excluded from Driver Reports emailed.

If the contract has deferred periods:

  • The number of deferred months is added

  • This prevents reports being emailed too early

  • This reduces driver enquiries when little or no transaction data exists

This rule is ignored when printing reports via:

  • PDF

  • CSV

Additional rules:

  • Vehicles past their Contract End Date are still included.

  • Suspended vehicles are not included, regardless of report date.


Monthly Reports

From this screen, you can select any reporting month within the selected:

FBT Year Ending (April – March)

Changing the year updates the available reporting months.

If a Contract Start or Contract End falls within the FBT year:

  • The list of months is shortened accordingly.

Example:

  • Contract starts in June

  • Only June – March are available for the opening year

Reports can be run and emailed anytime from this screen, but are only available for:

  • Active vehicles

  • Suspended vehicles

A valid Contract Start and Contract End must exist.


Whole of Life Reports

When a contract contains either:

  • A Suspend Date, or

  • An FBT Liability End Date

A report option becomes available called:

Whole of Life

If an FBT Liability End Date exists:

  • Whole of Life uses that date

Otherwise:

  • The Suspend Date is used

What Whole of Life Includes

This report:

  • Displays all expense and receipt transactions

  • Includes transactions regardless of transaction date

Monthly reports only include:

  • Transactions up to month-end

This means:

  • Expenses, billings, or receipts transacted after suspension are excluded from monthly reports

  • These are included when Whole of Life is selected

On Whole of Life reports:

  • The “Life to Date” heading in Budget vs Actual is replaced with “Whole of Life”

Access Restrictions

  • Only available to internal users

  • Drivers and Fleet Managers cannot select this option

Whole of Life is available on all reports except:

  • Driver FBT Statutory

  • Driver FBT Operating


Important Note

The Novated Driver Budgeted Operating With Funds report does not include certain “other” actual costs such as:

  • Relief Vehicle

  • Maintenance Program fees

The Novated Driver Budgeted With Funds report does include these actual values.
