THERE hasn't been a lot of glory reflected in Chris Bowen's decision to crack down on the statutory method of claiming fringe benefits tax on novated car leases, which single-handedly took a 56 per cent axe to the price of Australia's biggest car leaser, McMillan Shakespeare. "I'm not going to comment on individual companies," the Treasurer said yesterday, which was the technically correct response but not much consolation. "I stand by the changes" made to FBT, he said, adding that he was not surprised by the reaction.
