Botswana | How is the taxable portion of the Automated Company Car FB component calculated?

Step 1: Create the Automated Company Car FB component on company level.

      Navigate > Configuration > Payroll > Payroll Config > Payroll Components

      

      

      

Determine the value of the car and place it in the bracket. In this case, the value of the car is 223984,82 which falls in the last bracket of 200 001 and above.

​Step 2: Determine the taxable value (benefit) by applying the relevant bracket. In the example: ((223984,83 - 200 000) x 15%) + 10 000 = 13597,72

      

Step 3: Determine if the fuel cost is borne by the employee or employer. If the fuel cost is borne by the employee, reduce the taxable value (benefit) calculated in step 2 with the 'fuel cost adjustment value' of the relevant bracket. If the fuel is borne by the employer then the full taxable value (benefit) in Step 2 should be taxed and no reduction is allowed. In this example, the full value of 13 597,72 should be taxed.

      Navigate > Employee > Payroll Processing > Recurring Payroll Components > Fringe Benefits
      
      

      

Step 4: Divide the taxable value (which is an annual value) by the pay periods in the tax year. In this example, divide by 12 months to get a taxable value of 1 133,14 per month.
