Dave R,

Tax Evasion?

If one was to cash advance a credit card which was then reimbursed or paid out in full by his or her employer would imply that these withdrawals amount to cash payments to the employee. I understand that thousands of dollars have been withdrawn all of which would be fully taxable.

Has this been declared as taxable income? If not the marginal tax rate is applied along with interest and penalties.


Of the payments that provided other benefits (non-cash) such as products and services to an employee or ANY of their associates are ALL enclosed within the Fringe Benefits tax system. The FBT rate at the moment is 48.5%. Therefore if expenditure occurred of $200k, the union owes $100k plus interest and penalties to the ATO.

Theft?

If an employee was to use a employer provided credit card for personal use without being provided the appropriate authority to do so amounts to theft. They have used company/union/not for profit money for their own personal betterment.

The main issue I see in this circumstance is for the Health Services Union to clear their name have to decide on which angle they would like to take.

1) This was all above board - Tax to pay

2) This is not above board - Seek damages from recipients.
