1 Your Employer determines which portable electronic devices can be salary packaged. To find out which devices are available to you (and other important information your need to know about this benefit), visit smart.com.au/salary-packaging-benefits/portable-electronic-device and enter your employer in the field under ‘Can you package a portable electronic device?’. As per ATO guidelines, portable electronic devices must be used primarily for work purposes (over 50%) to be salary packaged, and you may need to have this verified by your Employer.
2 To package a used or current car, certain financier requirements must be met. Exact age requirements and minimum value depend on which financier you choose. Generally, vehicles should be less than 12 years old at the end of the lease term with a minimum value of $5,000.
