Are you eligible for a novated lease?
To take advantage of the potential tax savings and convenience of a novated lease, you generally need to meet a few key requirements.
A novated lease is available to most employees who receive a regular salary from their employer.
You are likely eligible if:
- You’re a permanent full-time or part-time employee
- You work for an employer that offers salary packaging as a benefit
- You receive a regular taxable income (from which pre-tax payments can be deducted)

Why choose a novated lease?
If you’re eligible, a novated lease offers more than just convenience. It could deliver real financial benefits. Here’s why it’s worth checking your eligibility:
- Save on income tax: Lease repayments and running costs come from a portion of your pre-tax salary, which could reduce your taxable income
- Simplify your budget: Car expenses such as rego, fuel and insurance are rolled into one regular payment, making it easier to manage your money
- Drive when you want: a novated lease can be for 100% personal use
