One not-so-great outcome of the Federal budget this week was that the fringe benefit exemptions have been tightened on laptops. So the practise of salary sacrificing to get a laptop is on its way out, unless you use it “primarily for work”.
If you were thinking of rushing one through before June 30, apparently that’s not an option either – the changes have already taken effect. Thanks, Mary, for that tip.
