i just copied this from the supanova site :P

A Novation Agreement– What is it ?.  

A Novation Agreement, when used in conjunction with a vehicle lease represents an agreement between three parties being the employee (lessee), the financier and the employer. The employee leases the vehicle in their own name from the financier, then by attaching the Novation Agreement the following occurs.  

-The employer takes over all the obligations of the lease except for the residual value which remains the obligation of the employee.  

-These obligations remain whilst the employee remains employed. During this period the employer makes all lease payments to the financier from the employee’s salary.  

-If employment is terminated, the Novation Agreement is rescinded (ceased) and only the lease agreement between the employee and the financier remains. When the employee leaves their employment they are required to take the vehicle with them.

PeteSmith's is probably a 'conventional' lease, which is paid for with 'after-tax' money, ie take-home pay.

With a novated lease, you effectively pay for the lease with 'before-tax' money, by sacrificing some of your salary for the cost of the lease.

It can be an effective way to reduce PAYE tax, particulary if you are earning in the top tax bracket (> $50k), because it lowers your take-home pay, and the lower take-home pay attracts a lower tax rate.

I can highly recommend Leaseplan.

I can highly recommend against Orix.

I am about to find out how good MacMillan-Shakespeare are...

If you work for a large company they may already have an agreement with a preferred fleet company... There are age restrictions on the cars you can lease with the bigger lease/fleet companies though.

Novated Leasing rocks if you set it up correctly, and drive enough km to get the FBT down :D

Any questions, let me know, I'm about to enter my second one :cool:

    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it  
    • Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!
    • Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
