Novated leasing · Australia

You're already paying for a new car. It's just parked at the tax office.

A novated lease legally redirects pre-tax salary into your EV.

How novated leasing works

Your salary already covers it.
We just change where it flows.

Tax
Redirected

Freedom
01

Your employer packages the lease

The car, charging, insurance, rego and servicing roll into one payment, agreed between you, your employer and a leasing provider.

02

Payments come out pre-tax

Part of your salary is redirected before income tax is applied — money that would have gone to the tax office now funds the car.

03

You just drive

One deduction covers everything. Eligible EVs are currently exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax, which is what makes the numbers sing.

The moment

Your salary
becomes your car.

Not after tax. Not out of savings. Straight from gross pay into the driveway.

Why electric

The tax system currently favours electric.

Eligible EVs under the luxury car tax threshold are exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax — the single biggest lever in novated leasing. Combine that with no fuel bills and lower servicing, and the maths shifts dramatically.

  • FBT exemption on eligible EVs
  • GST savings on the purchase price and running costs
  • Charging at home for a fraction of petrol costs
  • Fewer moving parts, lower scheduled servicing

Most calculators compare a lease with doing nothing. Ours starts from the car you drive today — what it's worth, what it costs — and shows the true difference of switching to an EV on a novated lease.

01

We educate first

Everything on this site uses market-average illustrations. You'll understand novated leasing before anyone ever contacts you.

02

We never rank providers

XOLT Lease doesn't compare, score or rank leasing companies. We refer you to a trusted provider suited to your situation — that's it.

03

You stay in control

We connect you only when you ask. If you take a lease, the provider pays us a referral fee — it never changes your price.
