Salary Sacrifice Explained
A salary sacrifice arrangement is when you agree to forego part of your gross salary, each pay period, in return for benefits of a similar value. However, the best thing is that these benefits are paid out of your pre-tax salary.
A salary sacrifice arrangement for SportUNE Annual Membership Fees reduces your annual gross taxable income by the amount of the annual gym membership benefit, which means you only pay tax on the remaining gross income.
It allows the benefit amount to be tax-free i.e. four fortnightly pay period payments for SportUNE membership would be subtracted off your gross salary from UNE, with PAYG income tax withholding applied only on the remaining gross income.
For example;
- 4 x $173.25 (excluding locker hire – $693 annually)
- 4 x $213.25 (including locker hire – $853 annually).
EXAMPLE
At the end of the 2025 financial year, Terry, a professional staff member at UNE, has a gross income of $93,526 (HEO Level 6.4). However, due to a salary sacrifice arrangement for SportUNE Annual Membership Fees during the year, $853 has been salary sacrificed. As a result, only $92,673 is counted as his assessable income and taxed at his regular rate. The $853 salary sacrificed is considered tax-free.
