What is a Novated Lease?

A car costs more than its purchase price – fuel, tyres, insurance, maintenance, rego, and finance all add up. A Novated Lease lets you pay for these from your pre-tax salary, slashing your tax and boosting your take-home pay, as shown with the State Custodians Novated Leasing Calculator.

Think of it as a salary packaging arrangement between you, your employer, and a leasing company. Your employer uses part of your salary to cover finance repayments and all the running costs. You get full control of the car for 100% personal use, without any additional tax

Even better? No GST on the vehicle purchase or running costs. That’s an instant 10% saving. Plus, under the new government policy, eligible electric vehicles are 100% tax-free – no fringe benefits tax, no luxury car tax threshold on EV below $91,387, just pure savings.

Drive smarter. Salary sacrifice is your way to a cost-effective, tax-friendly car.

What Are the Benefits of a Novated Lease Arrangement?

new or used vehicle, or multiple cars can be packaged

Convenience and no more big car bills!

You have the choice of including all vehicle running costs to maximise your tax savings. So you will never have to worry about vehicle bills again. A fuel card pays for fuel, tyres and servicing. When your registration and insurance fall due, simply send them in for payment. A Novated Lease is a great budgeting tool, whilst saving you thousands in tax.

New, used or multiple cars can be packaged?

A Novated Lease is available on any new, demo or used vehicle. The general rule is the vehicle can not be any older than 12 years at the end of the lease. For example a 7 year old car can be leased for 5 years. You can even take advantage of significant tax savings by arranging a Lease-back on a car you currently own or an existing car you have on finance. There is also the option to have multiple Novated Leases to maximise your vehicle tax for the whole family.

Who can drive the Car?

You can allow anyone to drive your car. As long as the driver is lawfully covered under your insurance policy, they are free to drive the car.

Frequently Asked Questions

A fully maintained novated lease means your employer deducts lease payments and all the running costs—fuel, rego, servicing, tyres and insurance—from your pre-tax salary. It’s the stress-free way to drive. You save on tax, skip the financial guesswork, and enjoy a cost-effective car lease without the usual headaches.

You don’t pay GST on the purchase price of your car. That’s a 10% instant saving. Plus, GST on fuel, servicing, insurance, and other running costs is claimable, reducing your overall cost even more.

It’s simple. Your pre-tax salary deductions lower your taxable income, so you pay less tax and keep more money in your pocket. That’s why a novated lease is one of the most tax-effective ways to own a car.

Everything’s bundled into one simple payment. That means fuel, rego, insurance, tyres and servicing—all covered. No unexpected bills, no budgeting stress. Just one predictable, tax-effective way to keep your car running.

You’ve got choices. Pay the residual value and keep the car. Refinance the lease for another term. Or trade it in for a new or used vehicle. Interest rates affect your finance repayments, so comparing deals ensures you get the best lease agreement.
