Novated Lease · Australia
Your next car, paid from pre-tax income.
Novated leasing bundles finance, fuel, servicing, insurance and tyres into one pre-tax payment. Electric vehicles under the FBT threshold save thousands more.
1
Pre-tax savings
Finance, fuel, servicing, insurance and tyres come out of gross income — you pay less tax.
2
EV FBT exemption
Electric vehicles under the LCT threshold for fuel-efficient cars are FBT-exempt — thousands in extra savings.
3
New or used
Available on new and eligible used vehicles across all makes and models.
4
One monthly payment
Everything bundled into one salary deduction — no surprise bills.
Novated leasing is the most tax-effective way for PAYG employees to run a car in Australia. Your employer pays every running cost from your pre-tax salary — you keep more of what you earn. We'll compare quotes across major novated providers, source the vehicle through our broker network, and coordinate with your employer's payroll team.
Common questions
How does a novated lease work in Australia?
Your employer pays your car costs (finance, fuel, servicing, insurance, tyres) from your pre-tax salary, reducing your taxable income. At end of lease you pay a residual to keep the car, refinance, or upgrade.
Is a novated lease worth it?
For most PAYG employees earning $60k+, yes — the tax savings usually beat outright ownership or standard finance. Electric vehicles under the FBT threshold see the biggest benefit thanks to the EV FBT exemption.
Can I novated lease an EV?
Yes — and it's currently the best-value novated lease option in Australia. Electric vehicles under the luxury car tax threshold for fuel-efficient cars are exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax, saving thousands per year.
Do I need my employer's approval?
Yes. Your employer needs to agree to novate the lease (most Australian employers do). We can send a one-page explainer to your HR team if needed.
What happens at the end of a novated lease?
You have three options: pay the residual and keep the car, refinance the residual, or hand it back and start a new lease on a new vehicle.
Can I novated lease a used car?
Yes — used novated leases are available on vehicles up to a certain age at end of lease. We'll confirm eligibility on the specific car.
