What is a Novated Lease?

A novated lease is a finance arrangement on an eligible vehicle* of your choice. Your employer pays for your vehicle lease and running costs using your salary through a combination of pre- and post-tax salary deductions.

What's in it for me?

Your choice of car
Pick an eligible vehicle* that suits your household and lifestyle, with no upfront costs. Any make or model. Petrol, hybrid or battery electric
Tax-effective financing
Deduct your payments from your post-tax salary, helping to reduce your taxable income.
Predictable budgeting
Manage your budget with one fixed payment. Your budget can cover car payments as well as your running costs such as fuel, maintenance, registration etc..
Buying power
Take advantage of TFM's buying power on the cost of your car. We negotiate on your behalf to get you the best price and running costs.
Simplified vehicle admin
Let us take care of the administration for servicing, maintenance, insurance and rego. We'll even send reminders for any appointments you need to make.
Pre-paid fuel/charging
Bundle your fuel/charging expenses into your budget for cashless motoring. You can also benefit from discounts with our fuel partners.
