What is salary packaging?

Salary packaging is an Australian Taxation Office approved way of restructuring your salary to use pre-tax income to buy a range of everyday items.

As a Queensland Government employee, you may be eligible to take advantage of salary packaging and you could save on tax, lower your taxable income and increase your take-home pay.

Why choose salary packaging?

Salary packaging typically includes the expenses, or 'benefits' which are determined by the industry that you work in. You can use the salary packaging calculator to find out what you could save.
