Novated Lease
A Novated Lease involves packaging the financing of a car within your salary. You, as the employee lease the car and your employer agrees to take on most of your obligations under the lease agreement. The lease payments would usually be paid out of your pre-tax salary.
Novated Leasing is most commonly used by individuals wanting to package a car as part of their salary.
What are the benefits of a Novated Lease?
