How employers save money through salary packaging:
- Save through tax incentives
by taking advantage of payroll tax reductions through salary packaging under the Fringe Benefits Tax Act.
- Save on recruitment costs
by attracting the candidates you really want – and keeping them.
- Save on training costs
by keeping the staff you value, you are less likely to have to train someone new.
- No hidden fees or commissions
by being fully transparent, we let you know how it all works and what it is going to cost – right from the start. We also ALWAYS pass on 100% of any discounts negotiated.
Employees expect salary packaging because it provides:
- Access to car fleet discounts
- Convenience of all vehicle expenses (car, maintenance, insurance, registration, fuel) in one salary deduction
- Saving through tax incentives (both personal tax and GST savings are available through salary packaging)
