The benefits of Salary Sacrifice
 

Jane is aged 45 and currently earns a gross salary of $100,000 per annum, plus a $9,000 Superannuation Guarantee contribution. She has determined that she requires $45,000 per annum after tax for her living expenses.
In 2007/08, Jane has salary sacrificed $41,000 (this is the difference between the $50,000 maximum deductible contribution allowable and the $9,000 already contributed by her employer)


The following demonstrates the tax advantages of doing this:

Careful consideration needs to be taken when contributing extra salary to superannuation as many release conditions exist and depending on your age, these funds may not be accessible until she is 65. Jane has determined that she is able to live on $45,000 and therefore this strategy is viable. Consultation with your financial planner regarding your personal situation is always advised when considering this strategy
