Novated Leasing – What is it?

A novated lease is one of the most cost effective ways of purchasing and running a new car. That’s because the lease repayments and vehicle running costs can be included as part of your salary package and paid for using pre-tax salary. Using pre-tax salary to pay for your vehicle expenses reduces your taxable income and ultimately means that you pay less tax every year!

Vehicles salary packaged under a novated lease arrangement typically attract Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT). However, as vehicles are concessionally tax under the FBT Act, a novated lease is often the most tax effective way for an employee to purchase and maintain a motor vehicle.

There are two types of novated lease arrangements:

Novated Finance Lease – just the vehicle is leased and the employee pays for their own running costs

Fully Maintained Novated Lease – the vehicle and running costs are bundled into the lease
