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.

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!

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
For more novated leasing FAQ’s for employers, visit our Frequently asked questions page.

What are the costs or risks for the business?

Fleetcare doesn’t charge any setup costs or ongoing management fees to the employer.

The arrangement is cost-neutral, and we take care of the entire process. If an employee leaves the business, the novated lease remains their responsibility - not yours.

How much administration is involved for us?

We offer complete, end-to-end management, covering everything from vehicle sourcing and lease setup, to FBT reporting and employee support.

Your role is minimal: simply process the agreed payroll deductions and, if required, return any surplus funds through payroll if the lease ends or the employee departs. There is a minor annual FBT reporting obligation, but Fleetcare supplies all the necessary reports and information to make this process simple.

Are there any compliance or FBT obligations?

We take care of FBT calculations and provide clear reporting to keep things simple. Our team stays current with Australian Tax Office (ATO) requirements, ensuring you remain compliant without the hassle.

What happens if an employee leaves or changes jobs?

If an employee leaves your organisation, the novated lease moves with them. They can either continue making the payments themselves or transfer the lease to a new employer.

Who manages the novated lease?

Fleetcare! Employees receive access to a dedicated support team, nationwide services, roadside assistance, fuel or charging, insurance, and more - all included as part of the lease.

Helpful and accommodating
