How does salary packaging work?

Maximise your income the smart way

Salary packaging is an exciting story, but it can also appear to be quite complicated at first. In a normal situation, you go to work and get paid but before you get paid, your employer takes out income tax and deposits what is left over into your account. You then pay for all your living expenses using this money.

With salary packaging, your employer pays you the same salary but instead of paying all your expenses after you’ve been taxed, you pay for selected expenses before the tax is taken out. This could lower your taxable income and help you pay less tax.

Make everyday living expenses work for you

Susie earns $60,000 per year. She works for a charitable organisation, and her employer provides a program which allows her to salary package these everyday items up to a cap of $15,900 per FBT year. By salary packaging up to $15,900 she could be up to $5,355 better off each FBT year. Please note that Susie’s ability to salary package is dependent on the industry she works in and the package her employer provides. Contact us to discuss the amount you may be able to salary package given your individual circumstances.
