The statutory interest rate is set by reference to the standard variable rate for owner-occupied housing loans of the major banks that the Reserve Bank of Australia published most recently before the beginning of the FBT year (usually the February rate).

 

The statutory rate is the basis for calculating fringe benefit values for all types of loans, whether interest-free or at low interest.
