 | How a salary packaged vehicle will give each one of your employees an instant pay rise (that you don't have to pay for)
Using a little known Australian Tax Office approved method, you can now offer every good employee an instant pay rise... that YOU don't have to pay for!
And despite what you may have been told about vehicle salary packaging, this doesn't have to be a complicated, time consuming process for you.
Not any more.
Keep reading to find out how easy it really is...
Our research shows there are three distinct reasons why most companies do not salary package vehicles.
 | | You don't have the knowledge and expertise, and you don't want to pay for it. Why? Because you may see salary packaging as only benefiting your employees, and not the company. This isn't correct. Salary packaging benefits both your staff AND your company (you'll see how shortly). |
 | | You feel it's too difficult and don't have the time to mess about with the administrative nightmares often associated with salary packaging. Let's face it. You're already busy with all the red tape, complications and the many frustrations of running a business. You don't need anymore. |
 | | You believe (or have been told) that to truly benefit from vehicle salary packaging, you need to drive a minimum number of kilometers per year... or... earn a specific income. |
Whichever reason applies to you, please understand...
All are NOT true!
It is NOW possible for virtually every employee... and every company, to benefit from vehicle salary packaging, without worrying about any of the paperwork!
Why should you salary package a vehicle?
Well let's have a look at the reasons:
| | You can give each of your employees an instant pay rise... which YOU don't have to pay for! There's no employee anywhere that doesn't' want a pay rise. Unfortunately, from an employer's perspective, it's easier said than done. But with vehicle salary packaging, you can give all your employees a pay rise on the spot. |
| | You
could save money on worker's compensation by reducing the taxable income of your employees. |
| | You reduce payroll tax (also calculated on taxable income of your employees). |
 | | You may even be able to reduce compulsory superannuation contributions. |
 | | Your employees feel appreciated because you've gone
'into bat' for them. This way they feel more compelled to be loyal to your company (and we all know the exorbitant cost, frustration and negative impact low morale has on employee turnover in a business). |
How much of a free pay rise can you give your employees?
Our research tells us that it's typically 10% (sometimes more) of their gross salary. The best way to demonstrate this is by taking a look at a few examples:
| Your employee currently on | driving
km per year | in a car like a... | gets a free pay rise of |
| $50,000 | 20000 | $25k Toyota Corolla | $5,888 |
| $100,000 | 20000 | $50k Subaru Liberty | $11,430 |
Quite substantial pay rises, right? Yet they cost you nothing! And it means, by keeping your good staff, you don't have to worry about the cost of training someone new ... the cost of lost sales ... lower productivity ... and more.
Salary packaging has many benefits for both you, the employer... and... your employees. Unfortunately, in the past, one of the very real downsides of it has been the extensive administrative obligations companies like yours need to meet.
This is until now!

The Autopia Team
PS To ensure we really do have ALL the answers, we consulted (and have always been a client of) the leading accounting firm in the country, Ernst & Young. So when you receive advice from Autopia, just know all our methods have been screened and reviewed by Ernst & Young.
PPS LAST MINUTE BONUS: As an extra benefit, we'll be happy to speak to you on the phone and tailor make a solution specific to YOUR situation (so you can see the kind of service and expertise your employees will receive). We'll offer you options that you can put to use immediately, whether or not you decide to follow through with Autopia!
How much is this consultation valued at? If you were to ask your accountant to review the relevant laws (FBT, Income Tax, Luxury Car Tax, GST etc etc) ... purchase Redbook data... develop a streamlined database... program the complicated formulae and so forth, it would take him (or her) months (if not years) of work... you are talking about tens (and probably hundreds) of thousands of dollars in costs to give you the answers you need.
The reality is that accountants don't have the time to be so specialised in just one area. They won't have access to the information (or the specialised systems) required to give you the TLC and the CPK. Even to do some basic calculations would be a few hours work as they would have to start from scratch...if your accountant bills at a conservative $100 per hour, you could be out of pocket $300 (or more).
When you call Autopia, we give you the specialised advice on the spot. In fact we'll be able to take you through a live quote online!
And the best part, it's a free consultation.
