Salary Packaging - Salary Packaging in Australia

Salary Packaging in Australia

Items commonly salary packaged include:

  • vehicles (either a company car or through a novated lease)
  • mobile phones
  • laptop computers

Some companies also allow their employees to salary package other items, including household utility bills, although this is complicated and normally requires the assistance of a third-party company who specialise in salary packaging arrangements.

Charities and public & not for profit hospitals can do this most effectively as they are exempt from fringe benefits tax up to a certain limit per employee (currently $9095 for public hospitals)

Salary packaged benefits in Australia generally attract Fringe Benefits Tax within the Australian taxation system, with a few exceptions - some benefits are Fringe Benefits Tax exempt, including mobile phones and laptop computers.

    But compared with the task of selecting a piece of French pastry held by an impatient waiter a move in chess is like reaching for a salary check in its demand on the contemplative faculties.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
