You can change the lease early, but will still be liable for the current lease before starting a new one.

If you leave your employer, you must notify StreetFleet in writing immediately. The Novation Agreement with your employer will be terminated and you become the lessee of the vehicle. This means that you will become responsible for making all lease payments. You may also contact us on 1300 273 359 to discuss alternative arrangements such as transferring the Novated Lease to a new employer or paying the lease out early. StreetFleet will provide your employer with a package reconciliation that includes FBT to assist them in preparing your final payment. As some costs may not be known on the date the novation is terminated, it may take up to 5 days to complete the reconciliation to calculate your final payment or refund.

FBT is a tax paid by employers on some benefits provided to their employees. This tax applies to your lease, however electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are exempt as long as they meet certain criteria.

FBT is calculated as follows: ($30,000 {FBT Base value} x 20% {Statutory Method Percentage} – $0 {Post Tax Contributions ECM}) x {Days/365} {number of days held/in FBT year} x 47% {FBT Rate} x 2.0802 {Gross up Factor} = $5,866.16 FBT payable

Only permanent employees with a good credit history and whom have completed any probationary employment period are eligible for a novated lease. Contractors are bound by the contract period and can only have a lease term as long as their contract period e.g. if you have a 3 year contract and you have been employed under this contact for 2 years, you can only enter into a Novated Lease for the remainder of the contract term, being 1 year. Our standard terms and conditions apply.

If your vehicle is written off, the lease will need to be finalised, with a final payment as determined by us and is then terminated. If your insurance payout does not cover the finance payout, you will

have to make the shortfall / gap payment to us to finalise the lease. Gap insurance covers you for this event up to certain limits. Please refer to the product disclosure statement (PDS), which is made available with the initial lease quotation or by visiting streetfleet.com.au/insurance. Depending on policy terms and conditions, and if your insurance covers your new replacement vehicle, we may be able to continue the lease with the replacement car.

All leased vehicles must be comprehensively insured. StreetFleet will arrange insurance through our preferred supplier at competitive rates with features designed with Novated Leasing in mind.

If you end up driving more or less than you estimated, contact us to adjust mid-lease. Any unused funds can be given back to you or put towards next years costs.

A novated lease allows you to use pre-tax dollars to pay for your car’s repayments and many of the running costs that you’d ordinarily have anyway – including registration, insurance and servicing – which could lower your taxable income while delivering a whole lot of budget convenience.

StreetFleet’s Novated Lease products include an accident management service. Simply call our office and we can assist you to deal with the accident, make an insurance claim, have the vehicle repaired, etc.

No. The ATO guidelines state that tolls and parking infringements cannot be included in a Novated Lease.

Three months prior to the end of the lease term, we will contact you to remind you that the end of your lease term is approaching and outline the alternatives that are available to you. You may choose to either trade in your current vehicle for a newer model, refinance your remaining balance into a new lease, or pay out the final amount owing and own your vehicle outright.

We will ask you to sign a Privacy Statement which outlines how we use your personal information. This includes disclosing information to a credit reporting agency, your employer and the dealer to the extent each of them needs to know the information or to undertake a search of your credit history. We may also use your details to tell you about our products and services in the future.

Luxury car tax (LCT) is a 33% tax on any luxury vehicle as determined by an ATO nominated value. Currently 2018/2019 the LCT limit is $66,331 so any vehicle with a value above this amount will be taxed at 33%. For ‘green’ vehicles this limit has been increased to $75,375. Taking out a Novated Lease on a vehicle above this limit can have an additional impact on your salary (over a nonluxury vehicle) as the tax treatment changes for vehicles above this limit. We strongly recommend you speak with a financial advisor or tax professional if you are looking at a Novated Lease on a luxury vehicle.
