What is Novated Car Lease?

A novated car lease is a smart way for employees to finance a vehicle using their pre-tax income, creating significant tax savings while keeping repayments simple and manageable.

This three-way agreement involves the employee, their employer, and a financier. The employee selects a vehicle, and the financier provides the lease. The employer then makes the lease repayments on behalf of the employee by deducting them directly from their pre-tax salary.

By using pre-tax income, you reduce your taxable income—helping you save money while enjoying the use of your car.

How Does a Novated Lease Work?

Here’s the typical process:

  • Choose your car – Select a new or used vehicle that suits your needs.
  • Set up the lease – A financier purchases the vehicle and establishes a lease agreement.
  • Salary sacrifice – Your employer deducts the lease payments from your pre-tax salary and pays them to the financier.
  • Drive away and save – You enjoy your car while benefiting from reduced taxable income.

Lease terms usually range from 1 to 5 years, with repayments scheduled weekly, fortnightly, or monthly—providing flexibility to suit your financial situation.
