What is a novated lease?
A novated lease is an arrangement between an employer, an employee and a finance company, which allows the employee to salary package the lease payments and running costs of a car of their choice, for 100% private use.
The lease payments for the vehicle and running costs are paid from pre-tax pay, therefore your employees benefit from paying less tax. This type of lease is a tax effective alternative to buying a car outright.
