Business rewards programs such as Qantas Business Rewards have become increasingly popular in recent years. With Qantas Business Rewards, points are earned by the business and can then be transferred to anyone including employees. But does this have any Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) implications?

Also in Episode 61 of the AFF on AIR podcast, Matt gives an update on the trans-Tasman travel bubble and explains how you could renew Virgin Australia Gold status for under $1,000 thanks to a generous new Velocity Frequent Flyer promotion.
