What is a novated lease in Australia?
A novated lease in Australia is a type of salary packaging arrangement that allows Australian Defence Force (ADF) members to lease a vehicle using their pre-tax salary. This arrangement involves a three-way agreement between the ADF member, their employer (the ADF), and a novated leasing provider. The lease payments and running costs are deducted from the ADF member’s pre-tax salary, reducing their taxable income and providing tax savings. By leveraging this arrangement, ADF members can enjoy the benefits of driving a new car while effectively managing their vehicle expenses and lowering their overall tax burden.

How does an ADF novated lease work?
An ADF novated lease allows ADF members to choose a vehicle and lease it through a novated leasing provider. The lease payments and running costs, such as insurance, registration, and fuel, are bundled into one manageable payment deducted from the ADF member’s pre-tax salary. The ADF member’s employer facilitates the salary packaging arrangement by deducting the lease payments from the salary and remitting them to the novated leasing provider. This arrangement provides ADF members with a convenient and tax-effective way to own and finance a vehicle, ensuring that all associated costs are covered in a single, easy-to-manage payment.
