Novated Lease Explained

A novated lease arrangement is governed by both fringe benefits tax and income tax legislation and is also approved by the Australian Taxation Office. It is essentially a three-way arrangement between an Employee, Employer and the vehicle Finance company.

How it works:

  • A vehicle is leased from a Financier in the Employee’s name
  • The responsibility for the lease rental payments and all other responsibilities under the lease is transferred to Employer for the term of the Novation Agreement
  • In addition to the lease payments, all running costs (i.e. annual registration and insurance, fuel, servicing and repairs) in relation to the leased vehicle are also paid through the employee’s salary package
