    Seems expensive

      That's because it is. However, those who can use the monthly invoices as a tax deduction saving 49% tax (including Medicare) effectively get 24 months of mobile service for free and get to purchase a gift for $1,100 that would not have been tax deductible.

        Huh? You are spending $99 per month. You claim $99 per month as tax deductible invoice at the graduated rate back. Then how the heck are you getting 24 months of mobile service for free?

        To maximize

        Mobile plan: $2,376
        Work phone (via gift card): $1,100
        ✅ Total deductible = $3,476

        1. Tax saving at the top marginal tax rate

        Top bracket in Australia = 45% + 2% Medicare Levy = 47%.

        $3,476 × 47% = $1,633.72 tax saved

        If you sell the phone, it's more

        • marshmall0w2 on 30/08/2025 - 10:33

          Wtf you guys are claiming work phone purchased with a gift card as tax deductible?

            @marshmall0w2: They don't claim it, they commit tax fraud.

          • mysterytal on 30/08/2025 - 10:53

            @marshmall0w2: No I salary sacrifice the cost of the mobile phone, tablet and laptop each year and sell the old ones.

          • Jaystea on 30/08/2025 - 11:17

            @marshmall0w2: Yes I claim it as tax deductible. But I don’t buy it with the gift card, I use the gift card to buy something else I’d otherwise have bought with money which I’ve done regularly every year (e.g. new robot vacuum cleaner, tv, soundbar etc.). You might say it’s me just spending money on things I want rather than need, sure. But I get them at insanely cheap prices by doing it this way. And every year I upgrade one thing at a time so that the life cycle is refreshed at an appropriate time.

            So for me it’s more like:
            Claim tax on $2376 = $1164
            Sell my current iPhone to someone else on marketplace ~$1000-1200 fair + easy market value.

            $1100 gain in gift cards.

            That way it’s not tax fraud.

            • marshmall0w2 on 30/08/2025 - 11:24

              @Jaystea: The calculations are a bit off but that makes more sense.

              @Jaystea: 100% work usage on the mobile plan? I call that BS.

              • Jaystea on 30/08/2025 - 13:09

                @SetTheFaqUp: I actually only claim 90% but for the sake of simple math and describing it to ppl over Ozbargain forums we use 100%. The profit/upside is still there nonetheless. And the truth of the matter is I use my phone for work a proven 95+% of the time through my call logs (can’t really quantify internet use).

                It’s not for everyone though and I absolutely see how it’s taking the piss out of the tax system. In comparison to actual rort and big picture tax fraud - it’s really not a focus of the ATO.

                • SetTheFaqUp on 30/08/2025 - 17:49

                  @Jaystea: "95+% of the time through my call logs"

                  how about private data usage?

            • Homerlovesbeer on 30/08/2025 - 11:53

              @Jaystea: It's a 2 year contract though?

              • Jaystea on 30/08/2025 - 12:59

                @Homerlovesbeer: Yes you’re right sorry I buy a new thing every 2 years (from memory what I listed is actually all I’ve bought in the last 5 years, so I guess I’ll have a new purchase soon). So I guess the gain is $550 in gift cards a year if you split that up evenly. I do upgrade every year nevertheless otherwise the resell value goes down and this rinse/repeat cycle doesn’t work.

    Not a deal anymore after Telstra has upped the ETC cost which is now equivalent to the JB GC
    Previously you still “profit” after the ETC cost at $1100 JB GC

  • marshmall0w2 on 30/08/2025 - 09:55

    So $0

    Unfortunately Ozbargain popularity & people nickel & diming trying to get refunds ruined these deals.

    • SetTheFaqUp on 30/08/2025 - 10:46

      JB knows it and not disocunting the device but to keep the inflated "sold" price.

      Adding to that misleading consumer on their rights on JB's own refund policy.

      On their earnings, they have been reporting increased revenue due to "strong" mobile sales. Let see if this "momentum" will continue.

        here for the DISOCUNTING

      How is the Telstra deal better than this JB one when the Telstra plan doesn't come with a $1100 gift card?

  • cemenos on 30/08/2025 - 12:34

    Are they will have similar deal when the iphone 17 out next month you reckon??

    RIP to the JB $99 plan. The ETC has gone from $800 to $1000 per the CIS:
    https://www.telstra.com.au/help/critical-information-summari…
    After paying the first month plan fee on the spot, you're breaking even with the GC.

    • SirFrankGrimes on 31/08/2025 - 01:19

      RIP Forever in our hearts. I reckon I banked ~$2000 worth of ‘profit’ (ie free gift card $$$) in the past couple of years

        well done to those

        1) *diots keep asking JB staff whether they could proceed with the deal & get refund, also showed them ozbargain saving tricks!
        2) those staff who is st&pid enough to report-in and now they get no more sales/signing up for JB mobile plans!

          100% - it worked for years and years when people took advantage of the loophole in a sensible way.

        • Craze on 31/08/2025 - 19:06

          All good things have to come to an end… especially when widely shared on a bargain forum.

    I really think this is the worst deal ever.
