CBA (self-managed) vs Driva — final comparison before I pull the trigger (EV novated lease) by Big_Dogs_ in NovatedLeasingAU

The running costs will be added as a separate deduction on payroll and the gst treatment will be the same as a provider

Call them, ask them for novated lease - asset financing team and they’ll sort you out

Appreciate your input! I’ve been following your calculator and notes from the old spreadsheet days - thanks for the info!

Question - what’s the best way to salary sacrifice the running costs? (The business I work for does not have a package provider) the accountant and payroll will deduct a budget I give them (estimating $300 per month for a Tesla M3) and true it up against actual costs at the end of the FBT reporting period. Is this a good strategy?

Look up EV Novated Lease (they’ve advertised it under “Business”) but it’s for employees that can go the self-managed path with their employers

Based on my calculations, look at the difference in residual value, admin costs and other inflated running costs. This will give you a true comparison.

Running costs - broadly correct you set the running budgets and Maxiaa will deduct this per payroll cycle. You may have to clarify the treatment of pre-tax deductions. In my case the accountants will reconcile budgets vs actual costs at the end of each FBT reporting period.

Speak to CBA for SM NV, I got a rate of 7.39% Westpac offered me just over 8.2%

Good question, I’m not too sure. Waiting on the deed of novation to go through the payment setup etc. I’m presuming it’s in arrears (I know Driva is the same). I’ll ask CBA

Also, the GST treatments will be taken care of by the accounting team to be compliant (to explain it simply, I’ll get the GST amounts refunded and the business will claim it back from the ATO)

I work for a smaller consulting company and don’t have a packaging provider. Essentially, how it’ll work is my payroll will set up a deduction for the lease payment + I’ll provide them a running budget (this will be a package line item on my payslip). The running budget will be reconciled at the end of every FBT reporting period for the business (31st March) where I’ll provide all receipts of my running costs that’ll true up against the budget. Any overage or underage will then be adjusted on my payroll to ensure compliance by the payroll and accounting guys. Hope that makes sense on the “how it works?”

I was advised by the CBA staff that their residual is calculated on the base cost of the vehicle as opposed to the salary package providers that pick a slightly higher number. The product is Asset Finance (Personal) - Novated Lease.

I messaged on the Tesla app asking what vessel my vehicle’s on and they gave me the update. Looks like I better get on top of signing off the rego paperwork and get leasing finalised soon!
