Salary Sacrifice will increase your take home pay
Salary Sacrifice is a benefit available to employees in the Community Services sector. It enables employees to reduce their taxable income, by having a proportion of their salary allocated to bills and basic living costs before tax is calculated. Under Legislation there is a capped limit on the amount you can salary package each fringe benefit tax year (1 April to 31 March). For employees who work for a Public Benevolent Institution the capped limit is $15,899.90 ($30,000 grossed up). There are a range of salary packaging options that apply and these should be discussed with Waltja’s finance team.
