请问可否使用salary sacrifice支付签证费用？

请问，雇主担保永居的费用，是否可以要求公司按税前走？

之前买手机想做祭出收入，当时公司没让走。但有其他公司的朋友说可以试试。我感觉我们公司负责这一块的人可能不太懂，我想了解一下再跟她讲。

给不给ss取决于你公司的政策，你省钱了，但公司要付FBT，所以还是你公司自己说了算。如果别的同事有类似的支出，你可以去争取一下。

算起来比较复杂，先算出一个基数然后再按最高税率大概46.5%来收取，基本上比你个人省得钱要多。

有些SS是可以免交FBT，在这方面你们公司的负责人肯定更有经验，他说不行那就基本没啥好争的。

Generally, the initial visa cost should be exempt from FBT under the relocation exemption. Therefore, your employer may provide that benefit to you without you paying anything and the employer pays no FBT. That applies to PR and 457 visa. Other relocation costs may qualify the exemption as well.

If your employer does not want to cover the cost, you can ask them to salary package as there is no FBT tax. Please bear in mind, they don't have to offer salary packaging.

If the visa is to extend your stay, i.e. you are already in Australia, it is not for relocation, no FBT exemption may apply.

Too bad, yes, I'm in AU, just transit to permanent visa, so I have to bear the cost all on myself, terrible~!

Thanks Simon and Shuyuan!
