How Novated Leasing Works

A three-way agreement that lets you salary package your car and running costs.

You (Employee)

Choose your car and enjoy reduced taxable income through pre-tax payments.

Your Employer

Makes payments from your pre-tax salary. No cost to them—just payroll admin.

Finance Company

Owns the vehicle during the lease and receives payments from your employer.

The Novation Agreement

A novated lease "novates" (transfers) your personal car lease obligation to your employer. They agree to make the lease payments from your salary package on your behalf.

The beauty? Your lease payments come from pre-tax income, and you can also package running costs like fuel, insurance, registration and servicing—all GST-free. If you leave your job, the lease simply transfers back to you or your new employer.

Key Benefits

There's a reason novated leasing is one of Australia's most popular salary packaging options.

Income Tax Savings

Payments come from pre-tax salary, reducing your taxable income and the tax you pay.

No GST

Save 10% on the purchase price and running costs—GST doesn't apply to salary packaged items.

EV FBT Exemption

Electric vehicles below the luxury car threshold attract zero Fringe Benefits Tax—huge savings.

Bundled Running Costs

Include fuel, insurance, rego, servicing and tyres in one simple payment from your salary.

Portability

Change jobs? Your novated lease transfers to your new employer or converts to a personal lease.

Fleet Discounts

Access corporate buying power for better deals on vehicles, insurance and servicing.

Electric Vehicle Bonus

The Australian Government's FBT exemption for electric vehicles makes novated leasing especially attractive for EVs. If your EV is below the luxury car threshold, you pay zero Fringe Benefits Tax—maximising your savings.

  • Zero FBT on eligible EVs
  • Save GST on purchase and charging
  • Lower running costs than petrol
  • Includes plug-in hybrids (PHEVs)

FBT on Eligible EVs

$0

Fringe Benefits Tax exemption applies to eligible electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles below the luxury car threshold.

Who Benefits Most

Novated leasing works for many employees, but these groups often see the biggest savings.

Higher Income Earners

The higher your marginal tax rate, the more you save with pre-tax payments. Those in higher tax brackets see the biggest benefits.

EV & Hybrid Buyers

Zero FBT on eligible electric vehicles makes novated leasing the most tax-effective way to drive an EV in Australia.

High-Kilometre Drivers

More kilometres means more fuel costs you can package from pre-tax income. Running costs add up to significant savings.

Budget-Conscious Buyers

One simple payment covers everything—no surprise costs. Makes budgeting easy and reduces your effective outlay.

Novated Leasing FAQs

Quick answers to common questions.

Does my employer have to pay anything?

No. Your employer simply deducts payments from your salary and remits them to the finance company. There's no cost to them beyond minor payroll administration.

What happens if I leave my job?

Your lease transfers with you. You can continue with a new employer who offers salary packaging, or convert to a personal finance arrangement.

Can I novate a used car?

Yes! You can novate new or used vehicles, including cars you already own (refinancing into a novated lease structure).

What's included in the running costs?

Typically fuel, registration, insurance, servicing, tyres and roadside assist. You budget an annual amount which is spread across your salary payments.

How much will I actually save?

Savings depend on your income, tax bracket, vehicle choice and running costs. We provide a personalised quote showing your specific savings before you commit.

Is there a residual at the end?

Yes, novated leases have a residual (balloon) payment at the end. You can pay it out, refinance, trade in, or start a new lease on another car.
