Changing Novated Leasing At stratton

Myths Busted!

Novated Leasing: it's a term that can conjure up a lot of images; the big end of town, dodgy tax breaks, people who drive loads of kilometres each year, horror stories of FBT bills...

But guess what - the average person who takes out a Novated Lease earns under $100,000 and drives a car worth $34,500¹.

The Novated Lease is a legitimate ATO approved Tax Concession, the number of kilometres you drive doesn't impact your ability to have a Novated Lease, and Novated Leases can be structured so you pay zero FBT.

Right. Now we have those myths out of the way, we want to talk to you about the real facts about a Novated Lease.

The Facts

While a Novated Lease can feel like a complicated financial product, it is actually a very cool way to pay for your car and its expenses.

We have written a lot about Novated Leasing over the years, if you would like to know more check out Novated Leasing at stratton.

What isn't that cool about Novated Leases is that they are a commercial finance product. That means you, as a consumer, are not covered by the National Consumer Credit Protection Act (NCCPA). The NCCPA ensures consumers understand the financial products they are buying through the disclosure of interest rates and other things that impact the cost of credit like fees and charges.

With a Novated Lease the company has no obligation to tell you:

The interest rate of the finance you will receive

The final amount financed

Any fees and charges associated with the finance

The cost of any insurances included in the amount financed

The impact to your take home pay
