Save on Dining and Accommodation with Entertainment

What Is Entertainment Salary Packaging?

Entertainment Salary Packaging enables you to salary package expenses such as meals and accommodation incurred in a social or entertainment setting.

Eligible Expenses:

• Any restaurant meals/alcohol consumed on the restaurant premises including hotels & cafes;
• Hiring professional caterers for a function (e.g., wedding, birthday);
• Meals whilst on holiday;
• Holiday accommodation costs (hotels, motels, resorts).

Entertainment cannot be claimed where it has otherwise reimbursed from another source. You will need to either reduce these amounts from your credit card claim or pay the Meal Entertainment benefit by cash.

Note: This is regularly audited by the ATO to ensure there is no 'double-dipping'.
