I have just started a 2nd job. My first role is in public health, where I can claim up to $11k through salary packaging (for which I claim my mortgage and meals/food expenses). I have just got a second job, which allows up to $15k in salary packaging. For this 2nd job, I have submitted my credit card, as the item I am claiming. This would, in total, mean that I can claim approx $26k (across the 2 part-time roles). Is this allowable? (I did see a post from ATO on this forum from 2020, saying there was no limit, but wanted to clarify this hasn't changed, as I could not see detailed info on this, on the ATO website (in the salary packing sections).
Additionally, how does this impact FBT? Would I go over some sort of threshold, with regards to FBT, thereby rendering the savings made on salpac'ing the second job, not worth it? (i.e. being charged increased FBT?)
thanks so much
