An employee leases a car through a novated lease provider like Novated Lease Australia.
The vehicle can be used for business purposes, or entirely for personal use.
As the employer, you are part of the agreement and commit to deducting the regular lease payments from the employee’s salary payment and remitting them to Novated Lease Australia. This happens as part of your normal payroll cycle.
The obligations under the lease are ultimately with the employee (the lease or vehicle do not go on the company balance sheet). If the employee leaves, the lease leaves with them.
The process can be easily automated and incorporated into your payroll processes and software.
It’s sometimes used as an alternative to having a company fleet of vehicles or offering a car allowance to staff.
