Introduction

Thinking about your next car? Before choosing a traditional loan or paying cash, consider novated leasing—a smarter way to save thousands. Leaselab makes the process easy, helping you keep more money in your pocket. This guide shows how you can drive your dream car for less with major tax savings and easier budgeting, making it the best way to secure your next vehicle.

Understanding Novated Leasing with Leaselab

“Novated leasing” may sound complex, but it’s simple: it’s a three-way agreement between you, your employer, and a finance provider like Leaselab. Your car and running costs are paid from your pre-tax salary, lowering your taxable income,e so you pay less tax each pay cycle, potentially creating a significant tax break. This makes buying your next car more affordable. Here’s what sets a Leaselab novated lease apart and how the process works.

What is a Novated Lease and Why Choose Leaselab?

A novated lease lets your employer pay for your vehicle and running costs—like fuel, insurance, and maintenance—directly from your pre-tax salary, while giving you the personal information you need to make informed decisions.

Why choose Leaselab? Unlike many providers, Leaselab is dedicated to transparency and a seamless process. We secure the best deals with no hidden fees, making sure everything is smooth and beneficial for you.

Our team offers personalized guidance at every step to maximize your savings. We work for you—not the financier or dealership—so you can trust you’re in good hands.

How Does Novated Leasing Work in Australia?

Here’s how novated leasing with Leaselab works: Leaselab sets up a lease for your chosen car, and your employer deducts the novated lease payments from your pre-tax salary—reducing your taxable income and lowering your tax bill.

One regular payment can cover all vehicle expenses, including:

• Fuel or electricity
• Servicing and tires
• Insurance and registration

This helps you avoid unexpected costs. You can use a novated lease calculator to estimate savings based on your salary and car. Leaselab manages the setup with your employer, so you get the benefits without the admin hassle. Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) is also handled, with exemptions for eligible electric vehicles.

How Leaselab Makes Novated Leasing Simple

Getting a novated lease with your current employer can seem overwhelming, but Leaselab makes it easy. We remove confusion and handle the details, guiding you every step of the way so you understand your agreement.

Our simple four-step process is clear and transparent: choose your car, get a tailored quote, let us coordinate with payroll, and drive away in your new vehicle. We take care of the paperwork, including roadside assistance options, so you can enjoy the ride—and the savings. It’s the easiest way to your next car.

Main Benefits of a Novated Lease with Leaselab

The main reason to choose a novated lease is the financial benefit. With Leaselab, you can enjoy significant tax savings by paying for your used car with pre-tax dollars, reducing your taxable income, and keeping more of your money.

You’ll also access fleet pricing, letting you secure a lower vehicle price than you could on your own. Combined, these savings often make a novated lease the smartest choice for managing your car expenses for your next car. Next, we’ll break down how these savings add up.

Saving Money on Your Next Car Purchase

A novated lease with Leaselab helps you save on your next car purchase in several ways. The biggest upfront benefit is GST savings—you don’t pay Goods and Services Tax, saving thousands instantly, all while enjoying a predictable payment structure. For example, on a $55,000 car, you could save up to $5,000 in GST.

Savings continue throughout the lease, as running costs like fuel, servicing, and insurance are also GST-free. Combined with income tax savings from pre-tax payments, these benefits add up over time.

Types of Cars Available for Novated Leasing

Curious about what cars you can get with a novated lease? With Leaselab, the choice is yours—new or used, SUV, ute, or coupe. You can even lease an electric vehicle (EV) as the best option. Thanks to government incentives and FBT exemptions, EV leasing can be more affordable than petrol cars. Already bought a car? We offer “sale and leaseback” options so you can enjoy tax benefits on your existing vehicle.
