Enhancing your employee benefits package

In today's competitive recruitment environment, businesses need to take advantage of every opportunity to attract and retain good talent.
Offering novated leasing as part of your employee benefits program, boosts your employees' disposable income, while reducing the tax you both pay. It is simple to set up, easy to manage, and comes with no financial risk to your business.

How does novated leasing work?

A novated lease is a salary sacrificing option that lets your employee pay for a new or used car and its running costs from their pre-tax salary.

It’s a three-way agreement between you (the employer), your employee and a novated leasing company, like Fleetcare. Once your employee has chosen their car, Fleetcare arrange the best price through our dealer networks. Your employees can look forward to heavily discounted vehicle purchases, income tax concessions and access to GST savings not only on the vehicle purchase price, but also fuel, 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

What if we already have a novated lease provider?

Just like how an employee can choose their own superannuation provider, we believe in novated choice. An employee should be given the opportunity to partner with whom they feel connected to.

If you currently have a novated lease provider, Fleetcare will happily be part of a panel allowing your employees to shop around.

We’ll also work with your existing salary packager so your employees can receive all the great benefits a novated lease has to offer.

How much does it cost to get set up and manage?

With no start-up costs or ongoing management fees, Fleetcare Novated Leasing will not cost your business a cent. We’ll accommodate any payroll frequency and adapt our processes to match your business requirements.

After implementation is complete, you and your employees will have access to our team of novated leasing experts available to answer questions, and support the promotion of novated leasing within your business.

Does a novated lease only apply to those employees looking to buy a new car?

A Fleetcare Novated Lease gives employees the opportunity to purchase a new or used car. If novating a used vehicle, there may be restrictions depending on the age of the vehicle (for example, if the vehicle will be older than 7 years at the end of the lease), but all used vehicles are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Employees can even novate their existing vehicle!

What happens if an employee leaves or I need to let them go?

As the ultimate responsibility for the lease rests with the employee and not the employer, there is no financial risk to the employer. If the employee ends their employment with you, the obligations of the lease leaves with them.

The lease reverts back to a standard finance lease arrangement. When the employee moves to a new employer, a new novation agreement can be put in place.
