Novated lease FAQs.

Common questions about novated leasing and salary packaging.

What is a novated lease?

A novated lease is a three-way agreement between you, your employer, and a finance company. Your employer agrees to deduct lease payments from your pre-tax salary, reducing your taxable income.

How much can I save with a novated lease?

Savings vary based on your income and the vehicle, but typically range from $2,000 to $10,000+ per year. Higher income earners in higher tax brackets generally save more.

What happens if I change jobs?

If you change employers, the lease can usually be 'novated' to your new employer. If your new employer doesn't offer salary packaging, you can continue payments yourself or payout the lease.

Can I get a novated lease on a used car?

Yes! Novated leases are available for both new and used vehicles. Many people choose used cars to maximise value while still enjoying the tax benefits.

What running costs are included in a novated lease?

A fully maintained novated lease can include fuel, registration, insurance, servicing, tyres, and roadside assistance - all bundled into one pre-tax salary deduction.

Do I need my employer's approval for a novated lease?

Yes, your employer needs to offer salary packaging and agree to make the deductions on your behalf. Most medium to large employers offer this benefit.
