Why a Novated Lease?
-
Reduce taxable income
Use your pre tax salary to cover lease payments, maintenance, insurance, charging, and registration. This reduces your income tax and gives you potential tax savings every pay cycle.
-
Employer options
You can get a novated lease for the car you want and take it with you if you change jobs. Your lease agreement moves with you, and is completely portable provided your new employer allows salary.
-
Leasing options
Enjoy flexible lease terms with fixed interest rates for the duration of your lease and no deposit required. Choose between 1-5 years depending on your financial circumstances.
-
Salary packaging
We’ll help you understand how salary packaging and salary sacrifice work, where your tax savings come from, and how this differs from a standard car loan or buying a car outright.

A novated lease is different from a standard car loan because it’s set up through your employer as part of your salary package. Instead of you making car repayments from your after-tax income, your employer makes them on your behalf using a combination of your pre-tax and post-tax salary, which can help you save on tax and your everyday running costs.
With a standard car loan, you simply borrow money from a lender and make repayments from your after-tax income. You’re responsible for managing everything — repayments, insurance, fuel, servicing, and registration, all out of your own pocket.
With Kooya, your novated lease wraps all those costs into one easy package, managed for you. You get the tax savings, the convenience, and our personalised support every step of the way.
