Have you heard of the self-education benefit? It’s one of the less-utilised benefits at Maxxia, which has us thinking, why aren’t more people packaging this fantastic benefit?
Not to be confused with Work Related Expenses and Professional Memberships, which are separate benefits entirely, self-education allows you to salary package the cost of work-related study and course work.
Claim your conference, save on that seminar
This includes the cost of a prescribed course, including any textbooks or equipment relevant to the course of study. You can also claim any registration fees incurred from work-related conferences and/or seminars!
Package your travel costs
That’s right, you can claim the cost of travel from your work or home to the place of study and back again. That means flights, taxis, Uber, camel… however you get to and from your self-education destination, you can claim it, before-tax.
Food and accommodation
It’s a yes! As long as the cost of meals and accommodation are incurred while you’re participating in self-education activities away from home for one or more nights, you can submit a claim.
We don’t think this benefit will remain under-utilised for much longer after this, but don’t worry – we have enough staff to process all the extra claims we will be receiving and we’ve warned them in advance.
