If you live and work in a remote area, you may be able to save tax on a number of personal expenses. These include:

1. Remote Area Rent

• If you rent a property from your employer, you can salary package 100% of your rental costs tax free from your pre tax salary
• If you lease a property in your name, you are able to pay for 50% of the rental cost tax free from your pre tax salary and the remaining 50% from your after tax salary
• Both options allow you to save thousands of dollars a year on your rental costs!

2. Other Remote Area Benefits

If you earn in excess of $80,000 per annum (higher marginal tax rate of either 38.5% or 46.5%) you can benefit from salary packaging the following items:

• Remote Area Mortgage Interest
• Remote Area Fuel
• Remote Area Holiday Travel
