With a Novated Lease, you can drive your dream EV for a set term and decide at the end if you want to buy it.

What happens if the lease is up, and you\u2019re torn? Maybe you love the EV but aren\u2019t ready to commit. Should you extend the lease, buy the car, or explore something new? Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re here to help you figure it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what stage of the journey you\u2019re at, we\u2019re here to make the road to sustainable driving as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Think of it as a \u201csalary sacrifice\u201d arrangement with your employer that bundles all your vehicle expenses like repayments, fuel, registration, and maintenance into one neat package. These expenses are then deducted straight from your pre-tax income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part? You lower your taxable income and take care of all your car costs in one go. It\u2019s simple, efficient, and saves you money on tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_how_it_works\"><\/span>Here\u2019s how it works:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you earn $70,000 a year before tax, and your car expenses are $10,000 annually. With a novated lease, your taxable income drops to $60,000. That means you\u2019ll pay less tax while enjoying the convenience of having all your car costs sorted automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to see why 5% of all new cars in Australia in 2022 were financed through novated leases. And as more people discover how straightforward and cost-effective they are, that number\u2019s only growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound like something that might work for you? Let\u2019s explore the possibilities together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-1-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-1-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-1-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-1.png 2022w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Save_Thousands_by_Leasing_an_EV\"><\/span>Save Thousands by Leasing an EV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leasing an electric vehicle (EV) through a Novated Lease isn\u2019t just about driving greener, it\u2019s about driving smarter for your wallet. Imagine rolling all your car expenses into one simple payment, reducing your taxable income, skipping the GST, and never worrying about buying a car outright. Sounds good, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the game-changer: EVs come with some incredible perks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since July 1, 2022, EVs have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ato.gov.au\/businesses-and-organisations\/hiring-and-paying-your-workers\/fringe-benefits-tax\/types-of-fringe-benefits\/fbt-on-cars-other-vehicles-parking-and-tolls\/electric-cars-exemption\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">exempt<\/a> from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT). That\u2019s a tax break you don\u2019t want to miss, especially when traditional vehicles used personally under salary sacrifice can rack up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drive.com.au\/caradvice\/is-novated-leasing-an-ev-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FBT rates as high as 47%<\/a>\u2014a cost often passed on to employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But not with EVs. If your vehicle meets these criteria, you\u2019re in the clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s a low- or zero-emission vehicle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It was purchased and used on or after July 1, 2022.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s driven by you or your family members.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s priced under the luxury car tax threshold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speaking of thresholds, here\u2019s some good news: for the 2024\/25 financial year, the luxury car tax limit for low- and zero-emission vehicles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.money.com.au\/buying-cars\/luxury-car-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has jumped<\/a> to $91,387 (up from $80,567).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What does that mean for you? Let\u2019s break it down. Leasing a $71,000 Tesla Model Y could cost less per year than leasing a $56,000 Toyota Hybrid. Even with interest on your EV lease, the tax savings stack up, making an EV the clear winner financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With interest in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2024\/feb\/10\/evs-novated-lease-savings-fringe-benefits-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EVs doubling<\/a> since these changes came into play, now\u2019s the time to make the switch. Ready to save thousands and drive smarter? The future is electric\u2014get started today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buying_an_EV_A_Better_Long-Term_Solution\"><\/span>Buying an EV: A Better Long-Term Solution?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, the Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption makes leasing an EV through a Novated Lease sound like a no-brainer but is it really the best option for the long haul? Let\u2019s dig a little deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_Not_Covered\"><\/span>What\u2019s Not Covered?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While a Novated Lease bundles most costs, it doesn\u2019t cover everything. For instance, if you\u2019re planning to charge your EV at home, you\u2019ll need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drive.com.au\/caradvice\/is-novated-leasing-an-ev-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">foot the bill<\/a> for installing a home charger yourself. And that\u2019s not exactly pocket change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you won\u2019t pay FBT, you\u2019ll still need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2024\/feb\/10\/evs-novated-lease-savings-fringe-benefits-tax\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a> those benefits to the tax office. This could impact other parts of your financial life, like your eligibility for private health insurance rebates, parental leave payments, childcare subsidies, or even your student loan repayments. Plus, some state government EV incentives aren\u2019t available through a Novated Lease, meaning you could miss out on extra savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Can_Use_a_Novated_Lease\"><\/span>Who Can Use a Novated Lease?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s another catch: a Novated Lease is only available to salaried employees. If you\u2019re self-employed, you\u2019ll need to find a way to declare yourself as an employee of your own business to qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what happens if you switch jobs? That\u2019s where things get tricky. Your employer handles the lease payments, so if you leave, you\u2019re left managing them yourself until you find another employer that supports Novated Leases. If you can\u2019t, you\u2019ll have to keep making the payments on your own, renew the lease, or even sell the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Buying_Might_Be_Better\"><\/span>Why Buying Might Be Better<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can handle the upfront costs, buying an EV outright might save you more in the long run. Sure, leasing spreads out your payments and comes with perks, but ongoing interest payments can add up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you buy, you pay a fixed amount upfront, which means no worrying about interest piling up or job changes throwing your lease into chaos. Plus, there\u2019s something comforting about knowing the car is completely yours, with no strings attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leasing can be a great option for some, but if you\u2019re thinking about long-term financial peace of mind, buying might just be the smarter move. At the end of the day, it\u2019s about finding the option that works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-2-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-2-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-2-1536x1024.png 1536w, https:\/\/proxy.carbarautos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Blog-8-Pic-2.png 2022w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"To_Buy_or_Not_to_Buy\"><\/span>To Buy or Not to Buy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, the decision to buy or lease comes down to what\u2019s best for you, and it\u2019s worth putting some thought into it. Can you handle a big upfront payment and say goodbye to interest payments? Do you have your heart set on a specific car, or have you gotten attached to the one you\u2019re currently driving? Are you about to switch jobs or go down the self-employed path? And what about those EV incentives\u2014are any of them only available through a Novated Lease? If that\u2019s the case, buying your EV at the end of your lease term might be the right choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But hey, if the thought of paying a large lump sum makes you a little nervous, staying with a Novated Lease might feel like a safer bet, especially if you\u2019re not planning to switch jobs soon and the interest payments still fit comfortably into your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still unsure?
