Salary PackagingMost organisations can benefit from Salary Packaging. Those who provide the flexibility for employees to bring their own device or work from home see the greatest benefits.
What is Salary Packaging? Salary packaging happens when an employee chooses to sacrifice part of their pre-tax wage in return for a product or service provided by their employer.
A product or service provided by the employer is classified by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as a Fringe Benefit.
A salary packaging arrangement is most effective when the products provided in lieu of cash wages are Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) exempt.
An FBT exemption applies for portable electronic devices that are for work related use. There is a limit of one item per FBT year for items that have a substantially identical function and the FBT year is defined from 1 April to 31 March.
Tax Saving When an employee uses pre-tax dollars to acquire FBT exempt devices their taxable income is reduced. As a result their employer benefits from a reduction in payroll tax. The employee may also pay less income tax.
Allowing your employees to salary package their next laptop, tablet or phone will see them benefit from a saving of up to 40% with repayments coming out of their pre-tax salary over one, three or six months.
In addition, as the employer your business will benefit from on-cost savings for every dollar that is salary packaged.
