What are Type 1 and Type 2 fringe benefits?

The difference between a Type 1 fringe benefit and Type 2 fringe benefit is whether the amount is entitled to a GST credit. Type 1 fringe benefits are a GST taxable supply with an entitlement to a GST credit whereas with Type 2 fringe benefits, the provider of the benefit is unable to claim a GST credit.
