Just wondering if reportable fringe benefits are included when calculating whether or not I am substantially self employed?

If it is for super deductions, your 'employment income' includes salary, plus Reportable Fring Benefits, plus Reportable Super (ie, super over and above the 9%).
Yeah, deductability of super contributions and life cover under super. I've been told that I have to earn 90% of my income through contract work to be able to claim it. If fringe benefits is added to all my taxable income I think it pushes me over that threshold. Not sure if I am understanding it properly though. Have called an old accountant and they weren't sure. Will be seeing another one soon but hoping to have my head around it before I see them. I hope this makes sense.

"Under this condition, less than 10% of the total of the following must be in respect of your employment activities:
- your assessable income for the income year
- your reportable fringe benefits for the income year
- the total of your reportable employer super contributions (RESC) for the income year. "
