How a novated lease works

A novated lease takes the car, its running costs and its insurance out of your salary before income tax.

The three parties

An agreement between you, your employer and a financier

Your employer pays the lease out of your salary, so the cost comes out before income tax rather than after it. The lease itself is yours.

What comes out before tax

One payment, not seven bills

Everything the car costs to run is estimated for the year, then spread evenly across your pay cycles. You stop budgeting for rego in March and tyres in August.

  • Lease finance
  • Fuel or charging
  • Comprehensive insurance
  • Registration and CTP
  • Scheduled servicing
  • Tyres and roadside

The steps

Four steps, and we do most of them

A quote takes about three minutes. Nothing is locked in until you have seen the numbers in writing.

  1. Choose your car

    New, demo or used. We source it at fleet pricing, or shortlist options against your budget.

  2. See the numbers

    The weekly cost from your pay, the tax you save, every running cost included, and our fee as a flat figure.

  3. We set it up with your employer

    Paperwork, finance and payroll coordination. Employers already set up take days, not weeks.

  4. Drive, then decide

    At the end of the term you pay out the residual and keep the car, refinance it, or sell it and settle.

FBT exemptElectric vehicles

An electric car under the threshold avoids fringe benefits tax

Eligible battery electric vehicles under the luxury car tax threshold for fuel-efficient cars can be exempt from FBT, so the whole payment can come from pre-tax salary instead of part of it being post-tax. Plug-in hybrid eligibility ended on 1 April 2025, though arrangements already in place may continue.
