Salary Packaging

Salary Packaging, otherwise known as Salary Exchange, is the inclusion of employee benefits (otherwise known as fringe benefits) in an employee’s remuneration package.

With salary packaging, an employee exchanges part of his salary for a vehicle.

How Salary Packages Work

The Australian Tax office has approved of companies allowing an employee to use part of his pre-tax salary to pay for goods and services, in this case, a vehicle. You may ask why salary packages have proven to be so attractive to employees.

The answer lies in the reduction of an employee’s payable tax and a corresponding increase in his take-home income. Salary packages allow you to pay less income tax (known as Fringe Benefits Tax) than you usually would on purchased vehicles. Conversely, your take-home income will rise.

SALARY PACKAGING Why Our Salary Packages will Benefit You

Employers offer salary packages as a way to reward their employees for their hard work. Here’s why you should get one set up if your boss has them available.

1. Reduces expenses

Novated lease salary packages allow for substantial savings. You save on both tax and the operational costs of your vehicle.

2. Tax Savings

You make novated lease repayments with a combinatorial of pre and post-tax dollars. You will lower the amount of tax you pay. Also, you will not have to pay the GST on your new vehicle, which decreases the payable amount by ten percent.

3. Saving On Operational Costs

The costs to keep your car on the road are relatively high. A novated lease helps pay for items like fuel, tires, maintenance, and insurance with a combination of pre and post-tax dollars.

4. Financial Management

Because your operational costs are payable in monthly installments instead of lump sums, you will have enough money to fund insurance and other expenses.
