Salary packaging - also known as salary sacrificing - a car is where you bundle together the finance and running costs of your car into one easy package which comes out of your salary each pay. The benefit to doing this is you save income tax on the running costs of your car which you will have to pay anyway. You also don’t pay tax on the purchase price of the car, saving you more money in the long-term.

Yes, finance is subject to approval from our panel of financiers.

You can lease the car minimum 12 months, and maximum 60 months.

Yes, you can take out as many as you can afford and save tax with a salary sacrifice on each car in your household.

You have a few options,

• Payout the vehicle and own it outright.

Yes, you will need to arrange this with your chosen provider and cover the initial premium up front, however you will be reimbursed once we have collected enough pre-tax funds.

The running costs budgeted for in your lease are flexible, meaning you can increase/decrease how much you contribute for your running costs as life changes.

Yes, it’s up to you to locate the vehicle and negotiate the price. The car can come from a dealership, wholesaler, auction or even private sale. Good to have a pre-approval before you start shopping.

There is no kilometre restriction, but typically the vehicle must be under 8 years old by the end of the lease. This is judged on a case by case basis so check with your leasing specialist.

Yes, anyone can drive your vehicle. If they are a regular driver it’s a good idea to consider having them added to your insurance policy to avoid a higher excess.

Any surplus in your maintenance account is returned to you at the end of the lease.

You have a few options depending on the age of the vehicle:

• Salary Package a new vehicle

In order to salary package the running costs of your vehicle, you must have a Novated lease, which means your car must be under finance.

There is no kilometre restriction, but typically the vehicle must be under 8 years old by the end of the lease. This is judged on a case by case basis so check with your leasing specialist.

a) Pay the residual and own the car outright
b) Extend the lease by rolling the residual value over into a new lease
c) Sell or trade in the car in with the dealer supplying your new car, the dealer will then pay your residual for you.

The ATO has set guidelines for minimum residual values. You can only reduce the residual below those guidelines if you are travelling a high number of kilometres each year

Absolutely, there is no limit on the number of leases you can have.

In most cases 100% of the FBT is offset through the ECM/ post-tax contributions. The only time we don’t is when it’s beneficial for the employee. Ask one of our leasing specialists to advise what the most beneficial option for your situation would be.

Not at all, your group certificate will report your new reduced taxable income, factoring in your salary packaging. You are then able to use the adjusted group certificate to do your tax as normal.

Any surplus in your maintenance account is returned to you at the end of the lease.
