Eligible Paywise members can make the most of this benefit by packaging expenses such as rent, mortgage repayments, and remote area utility costs, through salary packaging. By making the most of our Remote Area Benefits through salary packaging, you’ll pay less tax and increase your take-home pay!
This benefit can be provided by employers to employees who live and work in a remote area of Australia. It provides tax savings as employees are then eligible for FBT concessions.
If your employer offers this benefit, eligible remote area expenses (eg rent) are paid from your pre-tax salary. This leads to:
Up to 50% of your total rent in a remote area (not owned or leased by employer).
Interest on a loan for the remote area property you live in.
Up to 50% of utilities for remote area housing (not owned or leased by employer).
Where housing is provided by the employer.
Costs associated with purchasing a residential property.
When you choose our Remote Area Benefits salary packaging option, the process is simple and stress free. To save on tax by salary packaging one of these items, call us on or speak to your Salary Packaging Account Manager.
