At the end of your lease, you’ll also have what’s called a ‘residual value payment’ due. This is the amount owing on your car at this time, and is calculated in accordance with the Australian Taxation Office.​​

​​

We’ll be in touch nine months out to discuss your residual value options, which include:​​

​​

1. Novating a new car with SG Fleet;​​

2. Refinancing the existing car for another term*, or​​

3. Paying out the residual value and owning your car outright.​​

A novated lease allows you to reduce your taxable income, therefore reducing your PAYG income tax. To offset some of this reduction in income tax, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) levies another tax called Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) on the novated lease that your employer provides to you. 

The amount of FBT levied on your novated lease is calculated using the statutory formula method and is mainly determined by the value of the car you choose to package. A novated lease is tax effective because in most cases your income tax savings will be greater than the FBT payable on your car. 

SG Fleet will structure your salary package using a combination of pre and post-tax deductions. The post-tax deductions are used to offset the FBT liability payable on the car. This method of salary packaging is called the Employee Contribution Method (ECM) and SG Fleet will calculate the ratio of pre and post-tax deductions to cancel out your FBT liability and maximise your tax benefit.
