Salary packaging could benefit all income earners – no matter how much (or how little) you get paid.
As long as you're paying income tax, salary packaging could potentially lower your taxable income and may reduce the amount of tax you pay.
For example:
-
An employee for a health organisation or department on an annual salary of $60,000, who fully packages to their $9,010 FBT exemption cap, could save up to $2,965 each year*
-
An employee for a public department on an annual salary of $60,000 who packages $3,000 in superannuation contributions could save up to $891 each year*
The Queensland Government strongly recommends that employees obtain independent financial advice before entering into a Salary Packaging Agreement.
