Eligibility criteria: If you work for an FBT-exempt employer you can package living expenses, meal entertainment as well as the remaining benefits. If your employer holds rebateable status then meal entertainment is not available to you and some benefits become income dependent. If neither of these types of employer apply to your circumstances then unfortunately it is unlikely to be available to you.

Salary Packaging Card

A salary packaging card for everyday living expenses or meals & entertainment or even both is one of the simplest ways of maximising packaging benefits.

A Beyond Bank Australia Card means paying for everyday expenses out of pre-tax income is as easy as tap and go.

You get the convenience of a use anywhere card with the benefit of reducing your tax every time you shop, pay bills or book a holiday. And, with Beyond Bank’s five-time CANSTAR Award Winning mobile app, you can manage your packaged card wherever you are.

Living Expenses

We all know that housing is expensive in Australia. But did you know that you can use salary packaging to help offset your living expenses* or other fixed costs.

You can salary package just about any fixed cost:

mortgage payments
rent payments
school fees
childcare fees
council rates
personal loan repayments

*Fixed expense benefits not available to all industries, please ask your employer or The Salary Packaging People for more information – and always seek independent financial advice when making financial decisions.

Remote Area Housing

Country life is pretty special in Australia, and for employees living and working outside of major regional centres, there are fringe benefits tax (FBT) advantages that can make that choice to stay or that tree change dream all the more worthwhile.

If you live and work more than 40 kms from a town of a small to medium-size town, or at least 100 kms from a regional centre* you may be eligible for FBT concessions such as claiming half the interest on your mortgage or half your monthly rent as a tax concession.

For eligible employees, payments are directed to your nominated bank account(s) and normally paid within 1 working day of your monthly claim.

*The criteria for remote area fringe benefits tax concessions are set by the Australian Taxation Office. Please ask your employer or The Salary Packaging People for more information – and always seek independent financial advice when making financial decisions.

Not sure if you are eligible? We can help

Eligibility criteria: You can claim savings on your mortgage/rent or relocation expenses. This can only be claimed if you work in a defined remote area. You must live AND work more than 40kms from a town with 14,000 people or more and 100kms from an urban centre with over 130,000 people. There are some exceptions to this, please ask us if you believe you may qualify or need more information.

Going out for dinner, booking a holiday, having a celebration and getting a tax benefit while you do? No wonder Meals & Entertainment is one of the most popular salary packaging benefits.
