Professional Association Memberships

Do you pay membership fees for work-related professional associations? Now you can reduce those fees by salary packaging them.

Plus, you’ll get the GST back as well, which means an extra 10% saving. Because if you package an item, your employer can claim a credit for the amount of GST charged – and we arrange for that credit to be passed back to you.

Use the calculator on the right to see how much you could save.

We sort out the rest. We’ll get your employer to set aside the amount you’ve paid, less the GST, from your pre-tax salary. We then arrange for that money, plus the GST amount, to be transferred into your bank account. These deductions and reimbursements will be spread over the number of pay periods you choose.

This way you don’t pay any income tax on the amount you’ve paid for an item and you get the GST back as well.
