Use the "Add RFBA" button to automatically add the payment and expensive RFBA items onto the employees payslip.

- Click Add RFBA
Two payslip items will be entered into the payslip:
| Payslip Line | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Payment | Adds the RFBA amount onto the payslip temporarily as "Extra" class |
| Expense | Removes the same amount and classifies it as a fringe benefit for STP reporting |
Breakdown of Fringe Benefit Classes
Microkeeper has four fringe benefit classes:
| Class | STP Fringe Type | Salary Sacrifice Type O | Use this when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fringe Benefit - Exempt - Salary Sacrifice | Type X | Yes | The benefit is exempt and was provided through salary sacrifice |
| Fringe Benefit - Taxable - Salary Sacrifice | Type T | Yes | The benefit is taxable and was provided through salary sacrifice |
| Fringe Benefit - Exempt - Normal | Type X | No | The benefit is exempt and was not salary sacrificed |
| Fringe Benefit - Taxable - Normal | Type T | No | The benefit is taxable and was not salary sacrificed |
If you are unsure which class to select, confirm with your accountant, bookkeeper, or salary packaging provider.
