Disclaimer: The calculations contained in the above example are estimates only and are based on packaging parameters and do not take into account your individual circumstances. The calculations assumes, that your employer is eligible to claim back the GST and returns it to your package and that you are claiming the tax-free threshold and that you have no other salary packaged components or additional income/deductions, such as an investment property and are based on Tax rates for 2006-2007. The estimated annual savings are based on the assumption that the financing of the motor vehicle outside of the salary packaging arrangement is on the same terms and conditions as the novated lease quotation. We recommend that you obtain independent financial advice prior to proceeding with a salary packaging arrangement.
