Salary Packaging
Salary Packaging offers a variety of benefits for you to choose from. Some of the most popular of these are listed below.
Disability/income protection insurance
You can insure yourself against loss of earnings should something unfortunate happen that stops you from carrying out your work duties.
We can pay your premiums directly or reimburse your account.
You just need to provide us with a copy of your policy and cost of your premiums.
Personal loan repayments
Paying off a personal loan can be a bit of a challenge sometimes. But we can help you arrange to pay both principal and interest of the loan with your pre-tax dollars.
Just submit a copy of the personal loan contract, your bank statement and repayment amount.
As this benefit is for a ‘personal’ loan, it has to be in your name, not your partner’s or family member’s.
Salary Packaging Payment Card
Your VISA Salary Packaging Payment card is a convenient way to pay for everyday living expenses, such as groceries, travel and clothing with your pre-tax income. It’s as simple as using a credit card, just swipe and go. The cost of your purchases is deducted from money set aside for your card.
Because you are using funds from your salary packaging account, your payments are interest free and there’s no application fee for your first card order.
You can package up to $16,050 on your card – pre tax!!
Meal Entertainment
You can use pre-tax dollars when you dine out with the family or catch up with friends for lunch. And with the VISA Meal Entertainment Payment Card, it couldn’t be easier. This card can be used whenever you eat out at restaurants, bistros and cafes.
It’s a great way to make the most of your salary packaging because it’s over and above your $16,050 limit.
Simply tell us how much of your gross salary you would like to allocate to your card. There are no extra bank fees for this card and no application fee for your first card order.
Additional Superannuation
You can save more for your retirement by salary packaging additional super contributions, and topping up the Superannuation Guarantee payments your employer makes on your behalf.
Tell us how much you would like to contribute and we will pay your super fund directly, until you tell us otherwise.
You can package this benefit over your $16,050 limit.
A 15% contribution tax applies to additional super payments; this is deducted by your Fund and given to the ATO.
HELP (formerly HECS) payments
You could pay off your Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debt sooner rather than later by salary packaging these payments.
We can either reimburse you for voluntary payments when you supply an original invoice or receipt or pay the Australian Tax Office directly if you provide a copy of your HELP assessment debt notice.
Aged and disability care
You can salary package the cost of Aged or disability care from a registered aged care provider.
We can reimburse you or pay the funds directly if you submit your original account.
