Salary packaging

Salary packaging, or salary sacrifice, is when you and your employer ‘package’ your salary into income and benefits.

How salary packaging works

Salary packaging is when you arrange to receive less income after tax, in return for your employer paying for benefits out of your pre-tax salary. The benefits could be things like a car or a phone.

Fringe benefits

A fringe benefit is something extra you get from your employer, as well as your wage or salary. It’s a ‘payment’ but in a different form to salary or wages. It may also be in return for some of your salary under a salary sacrifice arrangement.

If you’re eligible for the fringe benefit tax (FBT) exemption cap, you can salary package a variety of benefits.

You may be eligible for paid study leave and financial assistance for courses and research relevant to your work.
