Salary packaging

Salary packaging is an Australian Taxation Office approved means of restructuring your income. Normally your employer would pay you in the form of cash salary after tax deductions; you would then pay expenses and purchases such as motor vehicle, Lease repayments and running costs, lap top computer etc., from salary after-tax salary. Instead with salary packaging, you restructure your salary by choosing to take a percentage of your salary in cash and package approved benefits to be paid out of your pre-tax salary. You receive part of your salary, also known as remuneration in the form of taxable benefits, and part in after-tax cash salary.
