Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Novated Lease?

To put it simply, a novated lease is a type of car lease in which you are allowed to make your vehicle payments out of your pre-tax earnings, saving you money. It’s a three-way agreement between you, your employer, and a finance company.

This allows the car to be treated like a company car which provides you with significant income tax and GST savings. To maintain the lease, your payroll team will deduct the regular payment from your salary and then remit this amount to Easi to pay for the car and it’s running cost budgets.

How long is a Novated Lease?

A novated lease typically lasts between 12 to 60 months, after which you can either trade the vehicle in for a new one, refinance and keep it, or buy out the remaining total cost. The most popular lease term is 48 months. It will depend largely on your personal circumstances on how long you’ll want your lease payments to last on your new car.

What are the Benefits of a Novated Lease?

More and more workers are using salary packaging for novated leasing due to the tax benefits – here is a list of some of the best benefits they provide:

  • Save on tax through pre-and-post-tax salary deductions.
  • Forget about keeping receipts or logbooks.
  • Budget easily with your car expenses and running costs covered in one monthly payment, including comprehensive insurance, fuel, servicing, and more.
  • Enjoy the convenience of cashless motoring.
  • Choose the new car you want to drive at a great price.
  • At the end of the lease, take advantage of any surplus between the market value and the residual value of your vehicle (plus GST – conditions apply).
How can a Novated Lease Save Me Money?

In a novated lease, repayments are made from pre-tax salary dollars resulting in a significant tax saving over the life of the lease. GST does not apply to the purchase cost or ongoing expenses plus discounted fleet pricing applies to all associated costs, saving you thousands.

An Easi novated lease allows you to buy any vehicle at GST-free prices and Easi’s extensive buying power and financial services enable us to source vehicles at heavily discounted fleet prices. Use these advantages to assess whether this is an affordable option for you and how much you could save on cars.
