THE CAP IS COMING…


From the 1st April 2016 the Meal Entertainment and Holiday Accommodation/Venue Hire benefits will have a combined cap of $2,550?


  • Make sure you take advantage of this benefit from now until 31st March 2016 to maximise your savings whilst no cap is in place.
  • Any balances will need to be reimbursed before 31st March 2016.
  • Restaurants
  • Professionally catered functions
  • Self-catered functions
  • Holiday accommodation in a hotel, motel, caravan, cabin or serviced apartment

  • Holiday package deals where total costs are inclusive

Furthermore, these amounts will also become reportable on payment summaries and could impact certain government income tests such as child support, medicare levy surcharge and HECS/HELP obligations.
