13  Remuneration packaging
 (1) Subject to this Part, an office holder may elect to receive the benefit of the total remuneration, other than the employer superannuation contribution, as salary or a combination of salary and benefits if:
 (a) the election is consistent with relevant taxation laws and rulings or guidelines applicable to salary packaging schemes issued by the Australian Taxation Office; and
 (b) providing the benefit would not result in a cost to the employing authority (including any fringe benefits tax) that would not be incurred if the office holder received the remuneration in the form of salary.
 (2) To avoid doubt, a superannuation contribution made as a result of an election by an office holder under subsection (1) does not form part of the employer superannuation contribution for the office holder.
