Frequently asked questions

What if I change jobs?

If your new employer agrees to take the payments from your pre-tax salary then the lease and the vehicle can move to your new job.

If your new employer does not agree, you will still get to take your car with you and are responsible for the remaining lease payments.

Can I make a deposit on the vehicle?

Unfortunately not. We need to pay for 100% of the vehicle’s cost and cannot accept a deposit or proceeds of a trade in.

Are there any other fees?

Additional fees may apply if:

  • You already own the vehicle or equipment.
  • You are purchasing the vehicle or equipment from a person or business that:
    • Does not have an ABN, or
    • Is not registered for GST, or
    • Does not generally sell this type of equipment as part of their normal course of business.
  • You are purchasing specialised equipment.
  • You want to make a change to the loan after it has been drawn down.

Full details can be found in our Fees & Charges guide.

What are my end of lease options?

At the end of the lease term:

  1. You must return the goods to NAB
  2. You can make an offer to purchase the goods
  3. You can make an offer to lease the goods for a further term

How does a Novated Lease work?

  • You and your employer sign a novated lease agreement with us and you get a car for your use.
  • Your employer makes the lease repayments on the car and takes this amount from your pre-tax salary.

What if I've already made the purchase?

If you’ve already paid for the vehicle or equipment, it’s not too late – we can buy it from you, reimburse you for the cost, and lease it back to you.

What are my purchase options?

You have the freedom to choose new or used, from a dealer or a private seller (as long as they have an ABN and are registered for GST).

What are the tax implications?

We recommend you seek independent tax advice.

Generally with a Novated Lease, the lease, running costs of the vehicle and Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) are deducted from your pre-tax earnings, and PAYG income tax is calculated on your reduced salary. This may effectively increase your net disposable income as you pay less income tax.

However this will be dependent on your financial and personal circumstances, including whether you will be making Employee Contributions from post-tax salary to offset FBT liability.
