Why government roles suit novated leasing
Novated leasing works best with a stable salary, packaging available through your employer, and regular driving. Government and public sector jobs tick all three, which is why so many public servants use one.
- Secure, predictable income
- Salary packaging offered by most agencies
- The full EV FBT exemption on eligible electric cars
- One pre-tax payment covering the car and running costs
Federal, state or local
The tax treatment is national, so it does not matter which level of government you work for. What matters is that your employer can deduct the lease from your salary, which almost all government and agency payrolls already do.

Common questions
Can government employees get a novated lease?
Yes. Most government and public sector employers offer salary packaging, which is all you need. Federal, state and many local government and agency staff can package a novated lease and pay for a car from pre-tax salary.
Is a novated lease good for public servants?
It suits people with a steady salary who drive regularly, which describes a lot of public sector roles. You get the pre-tax saving, the GST off the car and running costs, and one predictable payment.
Do government employees get the EV exemption?
Yes. The electric vehicle FBT exemption is federal and applies regardless of who you work for, so a government employee leasing an eligible EV gets the same large saving. See the EV novated lease page.
