What is a Novated Lease?
A novated lease is a three-way agreement between an employer, an employee and a financer and is a good way of leasing a car. Employees can take out a novated lease as a way of salary packaging a new vehicle. Under a novated lease, the employee has access and control of the vehicle and the employer deducts repayments from the employee’s pre-tax earnings to pay the fiancer. Employers can benefit from offering novated lease options as it can help attract and retain valuable employees. If an employee leaves their job, they also have the option of taking their novated lease with them to their new employer as long as they offer salary packaging.
