Novated leasing
Want to understand novated leasing but don't have a finance degree?
Oly’s got you covered
Score a new car AND save money? Oly could help make it happen
Imagine a single regular payment taken directly from your pay that not only puts you behind the wheel of your dream car, but also covers all your regular car expenses - everything from rego and insurance to fuel and servicing.
Now imagine part of that regular payment comes out of your salary before tax. Not only could it make it easier to budget each month, but it could reduce your taxable income.
Now add even more possible tax savings on eligible electric cars thanks to the government’s EV Discount initiative... Dollar signs, right?
That’s novated leasing, and with Oly even employees of small and medium business could get the big perks too.

Just a few of the reasons you’ll love your novated lease
Big deals for big deals (that’s you)
Thanks to Oly’s huge network of trusted car dealers all across Australia, you could get a great deal on your new ride. Not only that, with a novated lease you don’t have to pay a deposit. Nice, right?
Conquer all your driving costs in one
Doesn’t it feel like there’s a new car-related expense to pay every other week? Annoying! With a novated lease, most of your on-road costs are bundled into your one nifty regular payment that comes out of your pay automatically, covering things like petrol, servicing, rego, insurance and new tyres.
Stacks of possible tax savings
With a novated lease, part of that regular everything-included payment comes out of your pay before the tax does, so you could end up paying a whole heap less tax. Plus you could skip upfront GST on cars valued up to $69,674. For cars with a driveaway price of over $69,674, upfront GST applies only to anything over that amount.
It’s super easy
Don’t like admin? Oly does. Oly can help find your new car, get the finance and insurance sorted and even works out the payment details with your work. And thanks to Oly’s handy app, you can submit your claims, check your budget and make changes to your account anywhere, any time.
You could save even more on an electric car
Choose an eligible electric car and, thanks to the government’s EV Discount, your whole payment comes out of your salary before-tax. That could mean scoring a Tesla 3 for almost the same cost per week as a Mazda CX-5? Seriously! But the only way to take advantage of the EV Discount is with a novated lease.

Novated leasing FAQs
What’s the difference between a novated lease and a car loan?
With a regular car loan, you’d be making repayments with your post-tax salary. With a novated lease, your payment uses some of your pre-tax salary, which could lower your taxable income.
Then there’s the fact that all your running costs are bundled into one regular, easy, automatic payment.
PLUS Oly helps you find your new car, takes care of most of the admin and makes it easy to switch your car for a new one once your lease is up.
You won’t find a car loan that can do any of that!
Why should I take out a novated lease instead of buying a car?
Not only could a Oly novated lease save you money, it removes a lot of the hassle that comes with owning a car.
Once you’ve decided on your car (yep, Oly can help with that too!), Oly will set up a simple annual budget that bundles up all those pesky running costs – that’s petrol, servicing, rego, insurance and the car itself, obviously – into one regular payment.
Then, once you get your car, that payment gets taken directly out of your pay using a combination of your pre- and post-tax salary. If you’re leasing an eligible electric car, the payment is all taken before tax.
Let’s break all those benefits down:
- Buying power
Since Oly buys so many cars from dealerships across the country, you could get access to some pretty amazing deals. - Tax savings
Some (or all) of your payments are made with pre-tax dollars, so your taxable income is reduced. That means you could pay less tax! Even better: you could skip the upfront GST on your new ride too. - Less hassle
Oly sorts out all the administrative stuff, including finding your new car, dealing with the money people, and sorting insurance. That means less stress and more time cruising with the windows down. - Better budgeting
That one regular payment includes your car AND all your running costs. That means no more of those terrifying registration or insurance renewal bills. - Flexibility
With Oly, you can choose the car you want to drive, whether it’s new, used or the car you’ve already got.
Can I end my novated lease early?
A novated lease is based around a fixed length of time. So, if you decide to end the lease early, your payout might be higher than the market value of the car (and could include fees and charges from the money people).
When you set up your lease, it’s a great idea to structure it over a period that reflects how long you’ll want to keep the car to avoid any of those early cancellation fees.
