Novated Leasing
What is a Novated Lease?
The principle of a Novated Lease is that you as an employee enters into a lease for a vehicle. As part of your salary package, you transfer (novate) your obligations under the Novated lease to your employer, who makes the lease payments. Your employer then deducts the lease payments from your pre-tax salary.
Many people use a Novated Lease as a cost effective means of financing a vehicle.
Capital Finance offers three Novated Leasing Products:
Fully Maintained Operating Lease
Features of a Novated Fully Maintained Operating Lease include:
-
- all vehicle running expenses are incorporated in the lease rental which is paid by your employer from your pre-tax salary;
- fuel and insurance are provided on a budgeted basis;
- at the end of the lease term you can simply return the vehicle to Capital Finance.
Fully Maintained Finance Lease
Features of a Fully Maintained Finance Lease include:
-
- all vehicle running expenses are incorporated in the lease rental which is paid by your employer from your pre-tax salary;
- fuel and insurance are provided on a budgeted basis;
- you have a guaranteed residual value for the vehicle at the end of the lease. This obligation is yours and is not Novated to your employer. This means when you return the vehicle to Capital Finance (who will arrange for the vehicle to be sold or valued) that in the event that the GST exclusive sale proceeds or valuation (less costs) is less than the residual value, Capital Finance will invoice you for the difference. You may make an offer to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease.
Budgeted Finance Lease
Features of a Budgeted Finance Lease include:
Features of a Novated Fully Maintained Operating Lease include:
-
- all vehicle running expenses including fuel, insurance, maintenance, servicing, mechanical repairs and tyres are provided on a budgeted basis
- during the lease and at the end of the lease the budgets versus actual costs are compared. If actual costs are more or less than budgeted costs, this amount is invoiced to your employer who in turn pays or passes this amount to you via your salary;
- you have a guaranteed residual value for the vehicle at the end of the lease. This obligation is yours and is not Novated to your employer. This means when you return the vehicle to Capital Finance (who will arrange for the vehicle to be sold or valued) that in the event that the GST exclusive sale proceeds or valuation (less costs) is less than the residual value, Capital Finance will invoice you for the difference. You may make an offer to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease.
