1. Visit this ATO page to see if your area qualifies as 'remote' or ask your employer. Like all salary packaged items, you can’t claim an income tax deduction on packaged remote area expenses. Smart is unable to make your rent, mortgage interest, or utility payments on your behalf – salary packaged amounts will be reimbursed to your nominated bank account.
