o I am sceptical about this supposed saving. Why should the government subsidise a notebook for my own purposes?
It is sometimes natural to be sceptical about getting a substantial saving. The fact is that you can salary sacrifice many items including items that may already be familiar to you such as superannuation contributions. Salary sacrifice is legal and is already an established practise in both private and public sectors. Some people see this approach as a way for the government to incentivise working people to adopt technology.
