An increasingly popular option for teachers and other education workers we help is to novate a zero or low emission vehicles. This is due to the generous fringe benefits tax (FBT) exemption that's available. It means you and your employer pay no FBT, which adds up to thousands in extra savings.

You can view a full list of the vehicles that are eligible for the FBT exemption to see what options are available.

In that scenario (known as a self-managed novated lease), we are often able to secure much more competitive novated lease deals for than the main salary sacrifice provider can, while minimising the management fees in the process.

We regularly work with employees in the education system at federal or state/territory level, including SA and WA. We can:

• Assist you in purchasing a vehicle by using our fleet purchasing power to secure a discount on the regular price.

• Find the most suitable novated lease offer from our selection of finance providers.

• Calculate your car-running expenses based on your estimated car usage and include them in your lease budget.

• Take care of all the admin and collaborate with your employer and salary sacrificing provider to optimise your lease for maximum tax savings.

• At the end of your lease, guide you through your options and help you with the next steps.
