Did you know that you can save thousands of dollars in tax with a Novated Lease? A Novated Lease is an agreement between 4 parties; yourself, your employer, a finance company and an administrator (such as FAA Sal Pac).
Your Employer pays your car lease payments and running expenses with Pre-Tax dollars (e.g. 34.5% tax saving) and GST refunded (10%).
