Boost your benefits

Offer your employees the opportunity to salary package their car through a novated lease and potentially save them thousands.

Attract, retain and reward staff with novated leasing

Novated leasing is a popular benefit offered by Australian employers, allowing employees to salary package a new or used car and its running costs from some of their before-tax salary.

Good for business, good for employees

Reduce pressure on company car programs or travel reimbursements

How does novated leasing work?

Novated leasing is a finance arrangement between the employer, employee and leasing provider.

The employee leases a car and we package the car and running costs into a regular payment, deducted from some of their before-tax salary. The employer facilitates this through payroll, while we handle all the car and lease management.

Your employees could look forward to heavily discounted car prices by accessing our buying power, potential income tax concessions and access to GST savings not only on the car purchase price, but also fuel or charging, servicing, tyres and more!

Novated leasing in 3 easy steps

We'll take care of it

When you're running a business, we believe your benefits package should be a help, not a hindrance. That's why at Fleetcare, we'll take care of making it happen.

  • Minimal employer involvement: Our service fees are included in the employee’s novated lease package, so you don’t have to pay for Fleetcare’s services. While there is still some administrative input required—like processing payroll deductions and payments—we provide clear deduction schedules and monthly invoices to streamline the process.
  • Clear guidance and support: We understand that setting up and managing novated leases within your payroll system can involve some coordination. That’s why our Relationship and Account Managers are here to guide you through each step, and support your team across the life of the lease.
  • Keep your payroll cycle: No need to adjust your payroll runs—Fleetcare aligns with your existing payroll cycle and provides easy-to-follow deduction advice and invoicing.
  • Ongoing employee support: We know your HR and payroll teams are busy. That’s why our consultants are available to support your employees directly with their novated lease enquiries, including questions around bonuses, leave payments, and additional contributions. Where possible, we aim to take the pressure off your internal teams.
  • Potential business benefits: Your business may be eligible for payroll tax savings or depreciation benefits while the novated lease is active and the employee remains employed. We recommend discussing these potential advantages with your tax advisor to determine what applies to your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the costs or risks for the business?

Fleetcare does not charge any employer start up costs or ongoing management fees to the employer.

It's cost neutral and we manage the entire process. If an employee leaves, the novated lease becomes their responsibility, not yours.

How much administration is involved for us?

We provide end-to-end management - from car sourcing to lease setup, FBT reporting, and employee support.

Your responsibilities are minimal: you agree to process the agreed payroll deductions and, if needed, return any surplus funds through payroll if the lease ends or the employee leaves. There is a small annual FBT reporting requirement, but Fleetcare can provide all the necessary reports and information to make this easy for you.

What impact does it have on payroll?

We align our deductions to match your existing payroll cycle. We work directly with your payroll team to ensure deductions are simple, compliant, and seamless.

Are there any compliance or FBT obligations?

We handle the FBT calculations and provide reporting to make this simple. Our team stays up to date with Australian Tax Office (ATO) requirements, so you stay compliant without the headache.

What happens if an employee leaves or changes jobs?

If an employee ends their employment with you, the novated lease goes with them. They can either take over the payments directly or transfer the lease to a new employer.

How does it benefit our employees?

Employees could save thousands by using before-tax income for car expenses, potentially reducing their taxable income. It’s a valuable perk that helps with attraction, retention and employee satisfaction – all at no cost to your business.

Is a novated lease only for new cars?

A novated lease gives employees the opportunity to lease a new or used car. If novating a used car, there may be restrictions depending on the age of the car, but all used cars are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Employees can even novate their current car!

Who manages the novated lease?

We do! Employees will have access to a dedicated support team, nationwide services, roadside assistance, fuel or charging, insurance, and more – all bundled into the lease.
