Car Finance – What is a Novated Lease?

car finance novated leaseIf you are looking for Business Car Finance there are multiple options at your fingertips. Before you choose an option you should take some time to look at the options available to you and choose one that best suits your needs. A Novated Lease can be a beneficial way to secure financing that has advantages for both employees and employers.

What is it?

A Novated Lease is arrangement co-ordinated by a financier and made possible by the salary sacrificing options available. Firstly it is established that an employee needs a vehicle for business purposes and to circumvent big outlays by either the employee or employer a third party is involved: a creditor.

The employee secured a finance lease with the creditor whilst the employer agrees to take on the financial obligations outlined for the worker in the lease agreement. This means that the employer pays the monthly lease repayments on behalf of the employee using salary sacrificing which in turn gives them greater flexibility in their offer of a remuneration package to the worker.

If employment discontinues or the novation ends the financial obligations revert back to the employee and that is all that happens.

Who is it meant for?

This type of business finance will suit employees who are looking to include a vehicle as part of their package. If the employer offers salary sacrifice then it is an option for an employee.

Using a Novated Lease means that both the creditor and the debtor (employee) are able to claim an Input Tax Credit (ITC) for the GST attributed to the purchase of the vehicle and to the monthly lease payments themselves. This essentially makes the Novated Lease agreement GST-free. The exception occurs in two cases: at the end and early conclusion where GST is added to the residual value of the lease, usually both payable by the employee dur to ownership change.

Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) a repayment benefit made normally to the employee based on the number of kilometres travelled. The more kilometres travelled the less FBT. This can also be offset through employee contributions to the maintenance of the vehicle and is worked out based on the Employee Contribution Method (ECM). The benefits will be being phased out by the Federal Government over the next three years and as such you should always seek professional financial advice as to the suitability of such lease agreements for your particular needs.
