Benefit the environment and your pocket​

Save significant money

With the introduction of no FBT on eligible EVs and PHEVs, you could save on average $10k per year, almost double the savings* compared to a novated lease with an internal combustion engine vehicle.

Cheaper cost

EVs can help you save over the long term with the cost of an electric charge almost always cheaper than refuelling a car with petrol.

Good for environment

EVs have a lower carbon footprint. A study found electric vehicles emit, on average, 29-41% less emissions than a typical fossil-fuelled car for every kilometre driven.**

Less maintenance

EVs have a lower carbon footprint. A study found electric vehicles emit, on average, 29-41% less emissions than a typical fossil-fuelled car for every kilometre driven.** Less maintenance EVs are reliable and easier to maintain. The simplicity of the electric motor means that there is no oil to change, fewer parts that can wear down over time, and no engine to manage.

It’s convenient and hassle-free

The car you want, now

No deposit is required for a novated lease with an EV or PHEV, just a refundable order fee. So you can secure the car you want today.

Save on tax and car running costs

By salary packaging your EV or PHEV with a Flare novated lease, you could enjoy significant tax savings as well as save GST on your car purchase, electricity mileage, servicing, and maintenance.

Easier budget management

Avoid hidden expenses and spread your bills across the year by bundling up your finance and running costs like servicing, maintenance, and rego into convenient monthly payments.

Everything's included

You benefit from before-tax savings on all the running costs of your vehicle, so you have nothing left to worry about. This includes electricity mileage, service and maintenance, rego and CTP (NSW), and insurance.

What is a novated lease, and how does it work?

Electric car discount: the top 10 EVs that qualify in Australia

Frequently asked questions

What is the legislation and how could I save?
In a move that supports both the environment and the budget of Australians, the federal government has recently introduced legislation that makes electric vehicles (EVs) priced under $89,332 exempt from fringe benefits tax (FBT).
Before this bill was passed, you would have expected to pay 20% of the FBT base value of the vehicle as a post tax deduction from your salary. Now, with this change, the total amount is calculated and deducted before-tax so you, as the employee, is not paying any FBT or income tax on your new eligible EV or PHEV.

It depends on a number of factors like battery size and the charger used. See this range and charging tool for the average charging time for each EV currently available in the market. https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/electric-vehicles/charging-an-electric-vehicle/range-and-charging

Charge at home, work or public locations across Australia. See this charging map for locations. https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/projects/electric-vehicles/charging-an-electric-vehicle/charging-map

Electricity mileage, maintenance costs, tyre replacements, rego, CTP (NSW), comprehensive insurance and car washing
There are electric vehicles available in Australia that can travel over 500km on one charge. If you live in a city, the average daily commute is 35km meaning you’ll be able to get around without needing to recharge. See this range and charging tool for the average range for each EV currently available in the market.
Speak to Flare today and we can step you through the novated lease process, help you to identify and source the car you want, and purchase it, end-to-end. The process is simple and you’ll be supported along the way by a Flare Car Concierge.
The vehicle must be at first sale less than the luxury car tax threshold for fuel efficient vehicles which is $89,332 as of the 1st of December 2022. While vehicles are exempt from paying FBT, there will be reportable fringe benefits for employees.

Employees love Flare Benefits

Neil bought his Subaru through a Flare novated lease.
It was a very simple process. I didn’t have to meet anybody, it was all handled remotely, it was just emails and a DocuSign electronic signature on a contract. So very simple. Since I’ve actually taken my car for work, it’s enabling me to get a lot more flexibility.
Neil Creasey
Executive Enterprise Agile Leader, VIC
Alexandra bought her Subaru through a novated lease.
The whole novated lease process was simpler and more convenient than the traditional car buying experience, and the Flare folks basically held my hand through the whole thing. They got me the car I wanted delivered to my door, and I can use pre-tax dollars to pay for it which reduces my taxable income.
