Novating an electric vehicle

Save thousands more when you novate an eligible EV.

All about EVs

Want to pay for your next car entirely from pre-tax dollars? Novate an eligible Electric Vehicle (EV) and supercharge your savings.


With current Australian Government incentives, you could be driving an elegant EV for less than an equivalent petrol/diesel vehicle. 

A quick explainer

When novating an eligible EV, your car’s finance and running costs are paid entirely from your pre-tax salary. This equates to thousands of savings on income tax and GST each year of your lease. ​

Eligible EVs are any Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) or Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) priced under the applicable luxury car tax threshold, presently $91,387.

A deeper dive

The Aus Gov Electric Car Discount exempts eligible EVs from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT).  ​Typically applied to novated leases, FBT offsets some of the tax-effectiveness achieved by salary packaging a car. For petrol/diesel vehicles, both pre- and post-tax lease payments are necessary to minimise FBT.

 

With no FBT, there’s no need for post-tax lease payments.  ​All running costs are paid from your pre-tax salary.

Save even more

Depending on where you live, you may save even more. ​In addition to the Australian Government Electric Car Discount, state-or-territory-based incentives and exemptions could also apply. Check your government’s website for up-to-date information.  ​
