Package and control

Our Everyday Purchases Card is the easiest way to salary package your living expenses entitlements and save on tax. It allows you to pay bills and purchase groceries, clothing, holidays, and many other items. Fully approved by the ATO, it works via a VISA debit card which can be used worldwide wherever VISA is accepted.

The card must not be used for cash advances, adult entertainment, gambling or firearms, but otherwise has few restrictions. Some technicalities may exist around BPAY and direct debit arrangements.

Advantages of using the card include:
No need to submit claim forms or tax invoices
Spend your pre-tax dollars anywhere, any time
PayWave enables greater convenience when making purchases

Our card provider is Beyond Bank who charge a small monthly fee per card. We recommend you spend as much of your balance by 31st March each year, as any remaining balance will likely affect your maximum entitlement for the following year.

What you need to do, and what you should know:

How Much Could I Save With Salary Packaging?

Using your pre-tax salary to pay for things allows you to increase your disposable income and pay less tax – often thousands of dollars less each year. There are dozens of items you can potentially salary package, but some depend on your employer and the industry they work in.

It’s all fully approved by the Australian Taxation Office, however it pays to seek specialist clarification from us to ensure you gain everything you’re entitled to, and make the process of setting up your package easy. You can use our calculators for indicative savings, or talk to us today to find out more and the next steps to take towards saving!
