what is a novated lease?

novated car lease is a smart and efficient way to own a vehicle while enjoying tax benefits and fantastic deals! it’s a three-way agreement between you, your employer, and a finance company, approved by the ato.

with novated leasing, you can conveniently consolidate not just your lease payments, but also all your vehicle’s running expenses — such as fuel, electric vehicle charging, insurance, registration, tyres, servicing & maintenance, car wash and many more — into a single, hassle-free regular payment.

how does novated lease work

essentially, whether it’s a new, pre-owned, or your current vehicle, it is leased under your name through your employer. instead of making payments with your after-tax income, the lease is funded through your payroll department using a mix of your pre- and post-tax salary.

  1. participation of each party:
    • employee: arranges a novated lease with novated lease provider and novates the financial commitments to the employer.
    • employer: commits to deduct all novated lease expenses via the employees salary packaging.
    • financier: provides funding the purchase of the vehicle.
    • novated leasing provider: oversees vehicle procurement, initiates the lease, and manages all salary packaging administration, contractual, and compliance-related matters.
  2. payment mechanics:
    • deductions are made from the employee’s payroll directly to the novated leasing provider (such as us) before the application of PAYG income tax, facilitating an efficient payment process.
  3. spreading the costs:
    • the expenses, comprising both the vehicle and financing costs (excluding GST and the residual payment), are evenly allocated through fixed payments over the duration of the lease term.

in short, while the employee salary packages the use of the vehicle via their salary packaging agreement with their employer, and the novated lease provider work in tandem to ensure a smooth, compliant financial, vehicle management and administrative arrangement.

the Statutory Method is one of the approaches used to calculate the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) payable on a Novated Lease. with this method, the taxable value of the car benefit is determined as a percentage of the vehicle’s cost, regardless of the actual expenses incurred or kilometres travelled. the percentage is fixed, making this approach straightforward and easy to administer.

the Logbook Method is a subset of the Operating Cost Method. with this approach, a logbook is maintained to record all vehicle-related expenses and the kilometres driven for a specified period (usually 12 weeks). the logbook helps determine the business use percentage, which is then applied to the total operating costs to calculate the taxable value. this method requires meticulous record-keeping but can offer tax advantages if the vehicle is predominantly used for business.
