Salary Sacrifice & Tax Optimization
Australia's salary sacrifice system allows employees to receive benefits using pre-tax dollars, providing significant tax advantages:
- Superannuation: Additional voluntary contributions beyond the mandatory 11% through salary sacrifice
- Fringe Benefits: Car leasing, health insurance, and other benefits can be provided tax-effectively
- FBT Considerations: We manage Fringe Benefits Tax obligations to optimize the overall cost structure
- Reportable Fringe Benefits: Proper reporting on payment summaries for amounts above the threshold
