Salary Sacrifice definition

Salary Sacrifice means the Salary Sacrifice Arrangement to be offered by the Paying Authority to the office holder to elect pursuant to this Determination.
Salary Sacrifice. Salary sacrifice is a system whereby a portion of an employee's gross salary or wage is paid as a benefit, before tax, rather than directly as salary, thereby usually reducing the amount of tax paid by the employee on the income. This is called salary sacrificing because it is sacrificing salary for a benefit and is at the discretion of the employee for the approved range of items. For example, if an employee who earns $60,000 gross salary, sacrifices $10,000, income tax would be payable only on $50,000.
