Insurances, school fees, travel expenses are just a few examples of the benefits which you can package. These benefits may have GST payable or be GST free.
Package Requirements
Other Personal Expenses can form part or your entire threshold amount for General Expenses.
Your Employer may allow you to package 'Other Personal Expenses' up to the threshold limit of your Industry Sector, per fringe benefits tax (FBT) year. You should discuss with your Employer to confirm company policy if you are unsure if you may package these benefits.
