Hi Guys,
Does any one know the difference between Salary Sacrifice and claim Tax return.
I am getting confused.
For my understanding, Salary Sacrifice is used to deduct my salary before tax.
But for some items such as LAPTOP or PDA etc, I still could claim it for Tax return.
So, What is benifit of Salary Sacrifice?
Thanks in advance

PDA/Laptop etc are claimed as salary sacrifice. The idea of salary sacrifice is to use pre-tax dollar to buy things to deliver a saving by not paying tax on that amount. If you claim on tax return, that normally is depreciation you are talking about. When you claim depreciation your item will depreciate a certain percentage over x number of years. Your Laptop is 3 years.

Does that mean we can do both for a laptop?

SALARY SACRIFICES不是要老板答应从你税前工资上扣才可以吗？LAPTOP如果低于$1000应该可以通过SIMPLIED TAX SYSTEM来直接当年退税吧～
评论
yes. that's why laptop is the best candidate for salary sacrifice because of it's special tax treatment.
at the end of the 3 year depreciation, depending on your tax rate, you will be paying less than 1/3-1/4 of the cost of the laptop.
salary sacrifice needs to be done with the cooperation of your employer. get them to buy it and you also save on gst.

ATO不想EMPLOYEES经常把工作用的DESKTOP在WORKPLACE和HOME之间搬来搬去，累坏了影响GDP，一直放在家里又怕他们偷偷用着打游戏看A片～

Thanks a lot. It is quite handy to me

呵呵， 开个玩笑。 其实ATO一贯就是把用途有嫌疑的ITEMS全部剔除在WORK RELATED之外，有GENERAL PURPOSE和HOBBIES嫌疑的都不会被考虑。

呵呵,学习之余还能乐一下,真搞!

如果Salary Sacrifice买一PDA ($500), after Salary Sacrifice paid $400. can I claim the tax return for $400 in the same yr as depreciation for small item?

One more thing just in case someone not aware it:
One can package one laptop each year.

should be each FBT year. 1st of April to 31st of March. You are able to get one laptop in March and one laptop in April during one calendar year. For the third one, wait until to next April.:)
