Tax Efficient Perks You Must Ask Your Employer For


Pay for Education

Your employer should be willing to fund his employees who are seeking further knowledge in their profession. Education can take the form of on-line courses, part-time university or college credits, or professional courses. You can talk to your HR about the direct benefits of employer-funded education. These include increased loyalty, reduced employee turnover, increased productivity, ability to take on new projects and the opportunity to show leadership skills. So you may end up getting that raise after they pay for your education anyway. The benefit you receive on opting doing so is the cost of the course is deductible to your employer, and it rarely shows up on your pay stub as a taxable benefit.
