Perks & salary packaging

Salary packaging can provide opportunities for employees to maximise their after-tax income while also allowing employers to provide additional benefits to staff at no extra cost to the business.

While packaging arrangements that involve the provision of electric cars have recently increased in popularity due to the FBT electric car exemption, it is important to be aware that many opportunities also exist to package other types of benefits.

But this is an area where it is easy to get it wrong. This means that salary packaging arrangements need to be implemented carefully to prevent unintended FBT and other consequences. There have also been many changes that limit the use of packaging strategies that were popular in the past.

The Perks & Salary Packaging Webinar identifies what benefits can still be accessed through salary packaging and clarifies how the arrangements should be structured in real life to ensure that they are tax effective.

What we cover:

  • Making the most of specific exemptions contained in the FBT system, including the FBT exemption for electric cars
  • Maximising after-tax income to employees with car fringe benefits
  • Step-by-step guide to structuring a novated lease arrangement and navigating the ATO’s warnings on car lease arrangements
  • Ensuring that salary sacrifice arrangements are not attacked by the ATO
  • Identifying exemptions and concessions that don’t work with salary packaging
  • Using the minor benefits exemption without triggering unintended FBT or income tax liabilities
  • How to steer clear of the mistakes that many people make when putting salary packaging arrangements in place

 

Registration to this event includes:

  • 1.25 hour (est.) webinar
  • 3 month access to Q&A embedded webinar recording
  • Reference notes
