Novated Lease

A novated lease is a three way agreement. The employee, as lessee and the employer enter into a novated lease agreement with Toyota Fleet Management as the lessor.

All of the lessee's obligations to pay vehicle lease rentals are transferred ("novated") to the employer. The employer then makes such payments to Toyota Fleet Management on behalf of the employee for the term of the novation - or until employment ceases, should it occur during the lease term.

Employees can choose their own vehicle, and have their employer pay the vehicle lease rental from their gross salary, potentially giving them a higher disposable income.

Toyota Fleet Management can also administer post tax employee contributions to minimise fringe benefit tax liability.
