The government will increase the HECS/HELP repayment threshold for the FY27 financial year – from $67,000 to $69,528.

While this means Australians with a university debt can earn more before their repayments kick in, there are some potential impacts to salary packaging to consider.

That’s because HECS repayments are calculated using your what’s known as “repayment income”, which includes but isn’t limited to:

• Taxable income
• Reportable super contributions and other adjustments, AND
• Any reportable fringe benefits

For earners just below the new threshold, salary packaging could tip you into repayment territory. For those earning well above $69k and already repaying, the equation could be simper: salary packaging could still deliver a net benefit.

So while a higher threshold could boost take-home pay, it’s worth understanding how your repayment income is calculated – to avoid any tax-time surprises.

Maxxia is here to help Australians maximise their salary packaging entitlements based on their individual circumstances. If you’d like to know more, give one of our experts a call at any time. And from 1 July use our online Salary Packaging Calculator to see what this change could mean for you.

Good news for Victorians feeling the car-expense pinch: from 1 June until 31 July, car owners can get a 20% rebate on their rego fees for up to two cars.

This will save drivers up to $186 for FY26.

It follows a 50% cut to the fuel excise until 30 June, with the government considering an extension to this.

If you’re looking for another way to potentially save on your car costs, a Maxxia novated lease could be the ticket.

The government today announced some proposed updates to its EV Discount, to be rolled out in three phases.

Firstly, current settings will remain until 31 March 2027, meaning you can pay for an eligible EV with 100% before-tax dollars – up to the luxury car tax (LCT) threshold, which will remain at $91,387.

Secondly, from 1 April 2027, EVs priced below $75,000 will remain fully FBT-discounted, while those priced between $75,000 and the LCT threshold will be eligible for a 25% FBT discount.

Finally, from 1 April 2029, a 25% FBT discount will apply to all electric vehicles priced below the LCT threshold. This will remain the policy, with no end date.

This is great news for Australians wanting to drive cleaner cars for less.

The changes are subject to passing through Parliament. All existing arrangements will be honoured until the end of their lease period.
