How an ADF Novated Lease Works

A novated lease is a three way agreement between you, your employer and Leasexpress. Your vehicle finance and running costs are paid from your salary before tax. This can reduce your taxable income and potentially increase your take home pay.

Your single regular payment can include:

  • Lease repayments
  • Registration and CTP
  • Comprehensive insurance
  • Servicing and maintenance
  • Fuel or EV charging
  • Tyres
  • Repairs
  • Roadside assistance

Everything is bundled into one predictable payment, making it easier to manage your budget whether you are posted locally or interstate.

What is a Novated Lease?

A novated lease allows you to finance and run a vehicle using salary packaging. Your employer deducts the agreed lease amount from your salary and pays it to Leasexpress on your behalf.

Because payments are structured using pre-tax income, you may benefit from:

Reduced taxable income Potential GST savings Simplified vehicle budgeting

At the end of the lease term, you have options which may include refinancing, upgrading your vehicle or paying out the residual amount.
