Salary packaging is an Australian Tax Office (ATO) approved method of reducing your employees’ taxable income and increasing their take-home pay.
Facilitated by Benefit@bility, it is an arrangement between you and your employee where part of your employee’s salary is deducted pre-tax to pay for certain expenses, such as cars, mortgage repayments and everyday living expenses. This means that your employee’s taxable income is reduced, as they only pay tax on the remainder of their salary.
