Salary sacrificing with Paywise is easy. Salary Sacrificing for portable electronic devices allows employees to pay for laptops, tablets, and smartphones using their pre-tax income, thereby reducing their taxable income.
A portable electronic device is defined by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) as small and light device designed for use away from the office and can operate without an external power supply. This means that employees can salary package one qualifying electronic device per year if it is primarily used for work-related purposes. The employer must confirm the device’s primary use for work to be eligible for salary packaging with Paywise.
Explore the potential tax benefits available through Salary Packaging.
