Documented Evidence Requirements

Salary Packaging Benefits

Salary packaging is an employer provided benefit where you and your employer agree to forego a portion of your income for ‘other’ non-cash benefits. This portion of your pre-tax salary is ‘sacrificed’ in return for employer provided benefits. These non-cash benefits include payment of an employee’s mortgage repayments, rent, reimbursement of credit card purchases and other living expenses with pre-tax dollars.

To qualify for salary packaging the employee must provide evidence that their salary packaging payments are for legitimate personal expenses (e.g. loans, rent, school fees, rates etc.). SalaryPackagingPLUS require each employee to submit a copy of their evidence.

Upon the commencement of your salary packaging arrangement and each year thereafter, SalaryPackagingPLUS check and update the employee packages to ensure the evidence is valid. This is called the annual review.

Benefits Included

Type 1 Benefits (GST Inclusive Expenses):

  • Household Utility Bills
  • Vehicle Running Expenses, e.g. Fuel, Maintenance, Insurance – Home & Contents Insurance
  • Domestic Travel

Using these expenses as evidence will result in the reduction of the amount able to be salary packaged under the capped limit. SalaryPackagingPLUS recommends using the MyCardPlus Living Expenses Card to pay for these expenses.

Type 2 Benefits (GST Free Expenses):

  • Mortgage Repayments
  • Personal/Car Loan Repayments – Rent
  • Credit Card Purchases
  • School Fees / HELP Payments – Child Care Expenses
  • Medical & Dental Expenses
  • Council & Water Rates
  • Private Health & Life Insurance

The evidence of either one or a multiple of the above expenses can be submitted to make up the value of your annual capped limit amount.

Meal Entertainment & Venue Hire Benefits

  • Meal Entertainment
  • Holiday Accommodation & Venue Hire

The above expenses can be salary packaged in addition to your annual capped limit and are subject to an aggregate limit of $2,649.00 per FBT year.

Type 3 Benefits (Fringe Benefit Tax Exempt)

  • Remote Area Housing (Conditions Apply)
  • Novated Car Lease (Conditions Apply)
  • Employee Superannuation Contributions (Salary Sacrifice)
  • Work Related Notebook or Laptop Computer (Conditions Apply)

The above type 3 expenses are exempt from FBT and can be salary packaged in addtion to your capped limit amount.

Evidence Conditions

The salary packaging benefit offered by your employer is related only to the expenses incurred by you, your partner or your dependent.

Generally, evidence can be back-dated up to 12 months. However, you are only able to claim expenses that you have paid for whilst employed at the organisation.

The evidence you provide cannot be resubmitted or reused.

Evidence can only be submitted for expenses that you or a member of your household have paid for.

For most “fixed” expenses, one copy is sufficient evidence to enable SalaryPackagingPLUS to calculate a regular fixed deduction from your pay:

Fixed ExpensesEvidence Required

RentTenancy agreement or statutory declaration or letter from landlord stating amount & frequency due
Health InsurancePayment schedule or letter from insurer


If the expenses vary, i.e. line of credit, interest only loans, council & water rates, or credit card purchases, a copy of the ongoing bills/payments are required by SalaryPackagingPLUS to determine the value of the evidence:
