A novated lease is a three-way agreement between you, your employer, and a finance company. Your employer makes lease payments from your pre-tax salary, reducing your taxable income. Running costs (fuel, insurance, servicing) can also be salary packaged.
FBT applies to novated leases. The ATO uses the Statutory Formula Method: taxable value = vehicle cost × 20% × days held/365. From 1 April 2025, eligible electric vehicles under the LCT threshold are exempt from FBT.
