Bundle of joy
Article Abstract:
The new tax-effectiveness of the employees' salary package for the year 2006-07 is being assessed in Australia. The best outcome can be achieved by packaging a good used car and the fringe benefit tax can be eliminated when workers package a laptop, work-related mobile or car phone, electronic organizers and briefcases, as these are exempted from this tax.

Article Abstract:
The effect of the government's new decree to cut the tax exemption for complying pensions from 100% to 50% is discussed.
