Why ADF members and Defence employees are well placed for a novated lease
A novated lease works best with a stable salary, packaging through your employer, and regular driving. Defence roles fit that, which is why so many members use one.
- A secure, predictable salary
- Salary packaging offered through Defence
- The full electric vehicle FBT exemption on an eligible EV
- One pre-tax payment covering the car and its running costs
Your employer and salary packaging
Defence is a government employer and salary packaging is well established across the ADF and the department. Because Defence is already set up with us as a government employer, the employer sign-off on your lease is quick.
The electric car angle
An eligible battery-electric car under the $91,661 fuel-efficient threshold is FBT exempt, usually the biggest saving of all, and governments are actively encouraging EV uptake. See the EV novated lease page for the eligible cars.
