The Key Dates You Need to Know
The end of FBT year (EOFBTY) is the perfect time to maximize your salary packaging arrangements.
Make sure you mark these important EOFBTY dates in your calendar.
Amend
Two (2) Weeks
If you need to adjust your February/March contributions, make sure you do so at least two weeks prior to the pay date you are amending. This is to give your payroll team, as well as our team, enough time to make the changes to your pay.
Claim
Wednesday 25 March 2026
If you’re eligible for the FBT exemption cap but have not yet reached the cap limit, we recommend submitting your claims before Wednesday 25 March 2026 to ensure they count towards your 2025/26 FBT year cap.
If you don’t have funds available in your RemServ account, and don’t have an existing contribution for the benefit you are claiming, you will need to submit an amendment to request funds from your pay at least two weeks before your pay date. You can submit your claim alongside your amendment, or submit it, and any additional claims, until Wednesday 25 March 2026.
End of the FBT Year
Tuesday 31 March 2026
31 March marks the end of the current FBT year. The new FBT year will begin on 1 April, and your FBT exemption cap limit will reset.

Frequently Asked Questions: Salary Packaging and EOFBTY
What if I don’t reach the cap limit within this FBT year?
If you have unspent funds in your salary packaging account on 31 March 2026, they will carry over for you to use in the new FBT year starting 1 April 2026. However, your annual cap limit will remain the same and won’t roll over for the new FBT year.
If I reach my FBT exemption cap early, what happens to my ongoing contributions?
Unless you advise us otherwise, RemServ will continue deducting your allocated salary packaging contributions from your pre-tax pay. These funds will accumulate in your RemServ account for you to spend in the new FBT year. Please keep in mind that any accumulated funds will be counted towards your new cap limit for next FBT year when you claim.
If you want to pause your contributions, you can email [email protected] to place a temporary hold on your payroll contributions for the remainder of this FBT year. They will then automatically recommence when the new FBT year starts on 1 April.
NOTE: Any changes to your account can take up to two pay cycles to come into effect.
What happens if I reach the FBT exemption cap early?
If your salary packaging account reaches your FBT exemption cap limit early, RemServ will notify you before the end of the FBT year with the available options you can consider taking to manage your account.
If you do reach your FBT exemption cap before 31 March, your ongoing payments for your capped benefits will be placed on hold. These payments will automatically resume on your first regular pay day in the new FBT year (from 1 April).
However, your salary packaging contributions will continue to be deducted from your pay and sent to your RemServ account for the remainder of the FBT year, unless you notify us otherwise. If you use these accumulated funds in the new FBT year (1 April 2026 – 31 March 2027), they will be counted towards your new exemption cap. Please remember the cap limit remains the same each year (for example, $9,010 for living expenses for eligible health workers). Any unspent funds carried into the new FBT year will form part of the new cap limit when you claim.
Please note that RemServ cannot make automatic catch-up payments for amounts missed while your regular payments are on hold, including home loan and rental expenses. During this time, please make alternative arrangements to manage your account and expenses until the new FBT year commences on 1 April.
If you reach the FBT cap, this won't affect payments to benefits which fall outside your FBT exemption limit, such as additional superannuation contributions, and work-related expenses such as professional memberships, self-education/professional development and/or portable electronic devices.
