easyFBT 2025 update (April 2025) is now available

One Plus One Solutions Pty Limited is happy to announce that the easyFBT 2025 forms update (version 2025.1.0.5) is now available for download. This release includes the final 2025 ATO Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) Return form, which you can print as a paper form for manual submission to the ATO or submit electronically using the Electronic Lodgement (SBR) Interaction Manager.

easyFBT login authentication system

The ATO requires any software that connects to the Standard Business Reporting (SBR) system must provide a comprehensive login system to help protect users sensitive tax data. Each time you start easyFBT you are required to login to the application.

IMPORTANT

• The easyFBT software login is separate to your easyFBT website login (if you have one).

• Shared user logins must NOT be used. Each person logging into easyFBT must have a unique user login and only use that to access easyFBT.

If you haven't already created a software login for easyFBT (for either the current year or a prior year) then please read the following easyFBT login authentication system blog post for further information and step-by-step instructions.

How to update your existing easyFBT 2025 software

Every easyFBT installer includes the full software release for that product year. If you’ve already installed an earlier version of easyFBT 2025, simply download the latest installer file from the easyFBT 2025 folder on the Downloads page. Then, run it on all computers where easyFBT 2025 is installed.

Notes

• The installation won’t affect your existing 2025 entities or any user’s personal settings.

• Even so, we recommend backing up your entities before starting any easyFBT software installation, just to be safe.

SBR Machine Credential Requirement

To lodge your FBT Return form electronically, you’ll need a valid machine credential for each ABN you’re submitting.

Setting Up a Machine Credential

If you don’t already have a valid machine credential, the ATO’s guide below explains how to install one:

Managing Your Credentials

You can manage your machine credentials through the ATO’s Relationship Authorisation Manager (RAM):

How to show the Files & Folders on the Downloads page if they are not displaying.

If you can’t see any Files & Folders to download on the “Downloads” page on our website (https://www.easyfbt.com.au/downloads) then you will probably need to allow JavaScript within your internet browser settings.

The following details the steps required to allow JavaScript for our website within the Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome internet browsers.

Note: If you don’t have access rights to change your internet browser settings on your computer, then you will need your IT to assist you with this.

Microsoft Edge

If you are using the Microsoft Edge internet browser and get a “Widget Didn’t Load” error on the “Downloads” page of our website then you just need to allow your internet browser to use JavaScript.

To update your JavaScript settings in your Microsoft Edge internet browser, go to the JavaScript settings area (edge://settings/content/javascript) and either turn “Allowed” on or add https://www.easyfbt.com.au:443 in the “Allow” section to be able to use our website’s “Downloads” page widget.

Once this is done, refresh the "Downloads" page to be able to see the easyFBT Files & Folders.

Google Chrome

If you are using the Google Chrome internet browser and the easyFBT Files & Folders don’t show on our website’s “Downloads” page then you will probably need to allow JavaScript within your internet browser settings.

In your Google Chrome internet browser you need to go to the JavaScript settings area (chrome://settings/content/javascript) and either set the “Default behaviour” to “< > Sites can use JavaScript” or, if you don’t want to turn on this default setting then you can just add “https://www.easyfbt.com.au:443” in the “Customised Behaviours > Allowed to use JavaScript” section to enable JavaScript specifically for our website.

Once this is done, refresh the "Downloads" page to be able to see the easyFBT Files & Folders.

Fix for Login Authentication Page Display Issue

Our authentication provider, Auth0, recently made changes to the HTML of the login authentication pages, affecting the compatibility of the web browser component we use for easyFBT.

Note: This issue does not affect users logging in with a Microsoft Account.

As shown below, this issue prevents users from fully seeing their email address and password entries on the login, sign-up, and reset password screens. While it does not impact the functionality of the login process, we do not want users to struggle with this each time they start easyFBT.

Starting with the easyFBT 2025.1.0.3 release, we have provided a fix for this issue. If you're affected, you can download and install the fix now.

Prior releases

This issue also affects previous releases of easyFBT dating back to 2022. We will be providing updates for these products moving forward.

The fix is now available for the following releases:

• easyFBT 2022.1.0.10 or better

• easyFBT 2023.1.0.5 or better

• easyFBT 2024.1.0.9 or better
