Common Questions

Here are some helpful answers to our most frequently asked questions.

How do I get the most out of my salary package?

There are many items that the ATO allows to be paid as a fringe benefit from pre-tax income. The specific benefits available for you depend on which industry sector you work in and the program that your employer has selected.

How will salary packaging affect my pay?

Your payroll will deduct the nominated portion of your salary before tax is applied. The funds will be transferred to us to make payments to the benefits you have been chosen.

This effectively reduces your taxable income with only the remaining portion of your salary subject to PAYG tax and will be reported on your payment summary for individual tax returns accordingly.

Please note: if you work for a health or charitable organisation that is eligible for a threshold, your payment will report the gross up value.

What will happen to my salary package if I have a pay increase or decrease?

Generally there is no effect to your salary package if you receive a pay increase, you may however wish to add a benefit or increase your budgets to maximise your entitlements.

A decrease in your pay could impact the amount we are able to deduct from your pay and the payments we need to make on your behalf. Please contact the customer service team urgently to determine what action will have to be taken.

What happens if I leave my employer?

Your package will be reconciled to balance the deductions from your pay and payments made to ensure that the correct amount of fringe benefits tax has been applied to your package.

Any shortfall or overpayment will then be taken into account by your employer in your termination pay.

What does it cost to salary package?

As your salary package provider, we manage your account for a small fee as negotiated with your employer. This is included in your package and is paid out of your pre-tax salary.

The fee does not attract fringe benefits tax or contribute to any threshold limits.

Will my package affect my HECS/HELP debt?

Salary packaging increases your assessable income, which will affect how much HECS/HELP you are required to pay for that financial year. You will need to advise us and your payroll if you have a HECS/HELP debt. Depending on individual circumstances, your package may affect your HECS/HELP repayments whilst still providing you with the benefit of savings through your salary package.

Will my salary package affect my Centrelink payments?

Salary packaging does not usually affect Centrelink payments. However, this is subject to individual circumstances.

Child support payments will be based on an individual's taxable income after salary packaging plus the reportable fringe benefits amount.

We recommend that you seek further, specific advice regarding your circumstances from a financial advisor or tax accountant.

I want to submit an application to salary package, am I restricted in the benefits I may select?

Yes, you may be restricted to a range of benefits approved by your employer and to only the benefits appropriate to your industrial sector. Your employer can provide you with their approved list and our customer service specialists are happy to clarify any questions.
