        Because like all things YMMV and it all depends on your individual circumstances.

      • bruceclipse on 04/06/2024 - 22:34

        Only makes sense when you are in the highest bracket. Otherwise the saving is negligible and some instances you may end up paying more.

          Disagree on this. Just need to find the right novated company with transparent quoting. And then it should always make sense now that 95% of us will be in 30% bracket soon.

              @Kammi: Verrrrrrry roughly :

              Buy a $50K EV outright.
              Total cost over 5 years is $50K + ($1500 insurance * 5) + ($800 rego * 5) + ($200 servicing * 5) + ($200 tyres * 5) = $63500.

              Novated lease a $50K EV.
              Total cost over 5 years including insurance and rego and servicing and tyres is ($370 per fortnight * 26 fortnights per year * 5 years) = $48100 + $12000 residual payment to keep the car after 5 years = $60100.

              You just saved $3400 and you also spread the payments over 5 years allowing you to leave the original $50K sitting in your mortgage offset for that time period, saving you another stack of thousands.

              Buy a $50K EV on the 4% finance rate of this deal.
              Total cost over 5 years is $55250 including interest + ($1500 insurance * 5) + ($800 rego * 5) + ($200 servicing * 5) + ($200 tyres * 5) = $68750. It's over eight grand more than the novated lease option !

                There's also the tax/payment side of things too right? If I can survive the loss in regular income then a nl seems like a no brainer?

                And in your example e.g. preserving the $50k for the balloon payment I don't get how people see this as some sort of trap? Whats the catch? Discipline saving for the balloon and/or resale?

                  @Kammi:

                  There's also the tax/payment side of things too right?

                  No - the numbers I use above are the numbers that will come out of your pay. ie you will get $370 less into your bank account every fortnight.

                  This is the actual cost to you. It is the money you will not have, each pay.

                  In reality, what actually happens is that the lease company gets $370 from your pay, and they also get another $130 or so from your tax - but who cares, that money was not yours anyway. Just ignore that component. The lease company loves to tell you about this part because they think they are making the savings bigger.

                  But the only thing that actually matters is how much money is going to arrive in your bank account.

                  If I can survive the loss in regular income then a nl seems like a no brainer?

                  Correct.

                  And in your example e.g. preserving the $50k for the balloon payment I don't get how people see this as some sort of trap? Whats the catch? Discipline saving for the balloon and/or resale?

                  Sorry, not sure what you are asking.
                  The only balloon payment in my example is the $12000 at the end of the novated lease. Not $50K.

                @Nom: Just to add for @Kammi….with the FBT exception in place, the $60,100 @Nom used, this get taken out of your pre-tax salaray….so for arguments sake, if you were on $100K.
                - If you bought the EV outright you'd still be taxed at $100K
                - If you "bought" the EV via novated lease, you'd now be tax at ~$88K ($60K / 5yrs is about $12K per year) so that's also another way of saving too. NL financing with the quotes I have got are around 10-12%. I'm trying to get a better rate but I'm limited in choices.

                Have read of the EV FBT exemption as there are other saving too (GST exemption on accessories for example) and talk with your financial advisor to see if it's suitable for your circumstance.

                  @PleasureMachine:

                  $60,100 @Nom used, this get taken out of your pre-tax salaray

                  No - the $60,100 I used is the money that will not be in your bank account.

                  My numbers are all post tax. These are your actual costs.

                  Yes there is a larger pre-tax payment to the lease company on top of the $370 - but who cares, that money was not yours anyway. You can safely ignore it.

                  To put it another way - the cost to you is $60,100 - but the leasing company receives significantly more than this, because they also take a bunch of your tax that would otherwise have gone to the Gov. But this doesn't cost you anything - so don't factor it in to your costs. The leasing companies love to talk about this - but it's a big red herring.

                  with the quotes I have got are around 10-12%

                  10% is about the best you will find. My numbers above are using this rate - that's what gives the $370 fortnightly figure. If your lease rate is 12% then the fortnightly payment will be a bit more.

                  • PleasureMachine on 13/06/2024 - 13:21

                    @Nom: Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification.

                    Yeah all that matters is the post-tax / take home component. (which I was having great difficulty in determining with the mistakes in the all the quotes I was getting).

                    Yeah a colleague got 4-5% with her partner's NL provider. Our company only has two options available and aren't allowed to use others.

        I'm not sure how it's 'way' cheaper. Most of the time, the numbers give a misleading illusion of saving money, but over the total lifetime costs, 95% or more of the time, you end up paying more.

        However, it depends on individual preferences—some people prefer the ability to own it now, despite the monthly costs and worry about the 'balloon' payment for later.

        If you cant afford it outright, theres a case to be made that you likely shouldn't be buying it at all. Finance on a depreciating asset is 101 of bad financial advice.

          Finance on a depreciating asset is 101 of bad financial advice.

          This depends.

          If you can finance the car at 4% interest, and then you leave the $78,584.47 sitting in your mortgage offset (instead of spending it on the car), you will save significantly more than the 4% interest cost.

          It's cheaper to finance the depreciating asset than to buy it outright, in this scenario.

    while i love EVs, im not a fan of NCM batteries (google some vids on how well they let the fire genie out and how cobalt often comes from child labour). Much better to see a car with LFP derivative or Sodium tech in batteries. Just google these up if unsure what it means. Kia till present use LG chem NCM batteries in these models. The newer EV3/5 etc are supposed to use LFP and be made in china btw.

      Unfortunately, no one cares about child labour when they can secure a deal (Shein anyone or iPhone?). This practice has been a staple since the dawn of humanity and not going away anytime soon. Only veils to hide your feelings from being hurt. Companies also don't care unless their wallets are hurt and right now, LFP batteries are just cheaper for the switch and profits.

    For someone just dipping into the EV world, this is not good value. Novated leasing on a Tesla is surprisingly cost effective and makes way more sense after all the price drops, FBT and GST exemption. I've just leased one and awaiting delivery on a demonstrator model Y standard range with 5,000 km on the clock, upgraded paint, wheels and autopilot for $850 per month all inclusive. Balloon payment at the end of 5 years is $18k and I'll most certainly be able to sell it for more.

        That is the true cost.

        $850 per month * 12 months * 5 years = $51K, plus balloon payment of $18K = $69,000 inclusive of insurance, rego, and tyres.

        Financing rate and other charges?

          Ok
          So you are paying $69k for a $55k car excl GST (or $60k DA) when brand new. Used should see $2k off…

          71k (69+2k gst for the balloon). for what's effectively - $53k+ Insurance is 2k year. That brings it to $63k. One set of tyre is $1k. Rego + CTP is 800year. Another $4k. So all up $68k.

          Not bad with FBT exempted. Assuming 45% bracket. Car is effectively $40k

            Sorry, your numbers don't make any sense to me.

            Model Y is $61K drive away.
            Plus five years of insurance ($10K), tyres ($1K), rego ($4K) makes a total five year cost of 61 + 10 + 1 + 4 = $76,000.

            The Novated Lease costs $69K including tyres and rego and insurance, financed over 5 years. You just saved $7000, and spread the payments over 5 years.

            You are paying $69K for a $76K car.

              @Nom: "$61K drive away"

              1. DA is 60k on NSW for a brand new car (deduct $2k as it is used). And take out GST of 5k. Makes the car cost of app $53k. (NL does not pay GST).

              2. $53k + 10k (insurance) + 4k (rego) + 1k (tyre) = 68k of value being leased.

              3. $51k (lease payment) + 18k balloon + 1.8k GST (based on residual) is app $71k.

              So all up $71k out of pocket pre-tax money for what's effective costing the lease company $68k. Still not a bad deal given $3k is not enough to even cover their interest cost. Some how the numbers don't seem to add up as the leasing company usually borrow at cir 6%.

              So net out of pocket after tax is app $40k for the car - 45% tax bracket.

                @Chinese: I don't know how to make it any clearer.

                My figures are already including all of the tax and GST savings, you don't need to add anything further to the calculations.

                The $69K total cost is the actual money that will be coming out of your bank account over the next 5 years. It already includes the tax and GST savings.

                If your monthly bank account payment from your employer is usually $5850, it will now be $5000 from when you start the lease. The pay going into your bank account will have reduced by $850 per month. This is the cost to you. That is where the $850 monthly figure is coming from. There's no "additional" savings for you to add.

                So net out of pocket after tax

                Net out of pocket after tax, is $850 per month or $69K in total.

                  @Nom: So the 850 is post tax amount? (Usually PAYG deducts tax before remitting)

                  I hope not… Otherwise it is probably one of the worst EV leasing deals I have seen.

                    @Chinese: Yes, this is the post tax amount.

                    In reality, what is actually happening is that you are giving $850 from your salary, and the leasing company is also taking another few hundred dollars from your tax - so they are getting significantly more than $850 per month.
                    But that extra money was not yours anyway - it's simply diverted from the Government to the Leasing company. It doesn't cost you anything.

                    Otherwise it is probably one of the worst EV leasing deals I have seen.

                    It's a pretty standard lease deal - a saving of $7000 whilst also spreading the payments over 5 years, is definitely a win for you.

                    You can put the original $61K into your mortgage offset account over the 5 year period, instead of spending it outright on the car - this opens up a whole bunch of addtional saving. Hell even if you drop the $61K into a savings account it's going to earn you over ten grand in interest over the 5 years.

                    Talking about leasing company making a killing and not being transparent about it.

                    Who cares, the important part is what you save as the customer.

                      @Nom: Indirect cost to tax payer funding the 1. Leasing company, 2. Financier.

                      Folks I know are netting $500ish monthly deduction post tax pay on a 89k car… At work we get $400 post tax deduction on the same car because we manage them in house.

                      I guess that's why in another post someone mentioned most people don't truely understand NL. This is a good reflection of it, and is funding an entire industry at tax payers cost.

                      No further comment.

                        and is funding an entire industry at tax payers cost

                        I completely agree - the fact that this industry exists at all is truly bonkers. Why on earth would the government even want to be subsidising expensive cars for rich people, using income tax ?

                        I have no idea why novated leasing exists (I assume it was to help the local car manufacturing industry, which no longer exists, sell expensive cars) - it's just as stupid as negative gearing. Tax subsidies for the rich are generally the opposite of how the tax system should work.

                        But, the offer is there … if you're going to buy a car anyway then you may as well use it 🤷‍♂️

                          @Nom: "may as well use it"

                          Sure. Not to be taken a massive advantage of though. In your specific scenario, it's a joke the amount that you are paying.

                          Aside from EV with FBT exemption, people taking out leases are getting screwed hard without knowing/understanding it. Gov is not dumb as one might have thought, FBT recovers every cent that's leaked through tax not paid via pre-tax dollars payment.

                              @Chinese: Oh my lord I had the longest but best reply but accidentally closed it D:. Hi aha not simple but here is the simple version for you Ozbargainers

                              I guess i summarise what I was writing again in under 1minute

                              Example JV buys a Tesla

                              jv - hi i make 100k i get 70k take home at the end of the year.. each fortnight i make 2700 :)

                              nl (novated lease) - hi buy tesla :))) the 60k one but we charge u 20k pre tax for 5 years then another 20k :)))

                              jv - wth 120k for a 60k car??

                              nl - no i take pre tax so ur new income is 80k = you now get 2300 a fortnight :)

                              jv - oh i see so i lose 400 from my pay every fortnight for the next 5 years?

                              nl - yep

                              jv - okay easy so the maths is 400X26X5 = 52000 + 20k at end?

                              nl - yep and we pay for everything for you!

                              jv - i see okay sounds good instead of paying 60k outright + insurance + rego + maintainence = 80k.

                              I only pay 72000!!! Count me in

                              govt - thank you i get to tax the nl, tesla and you :))), count us in

                              nl - excellent i get 120k!!! and can claim all expenses as a deduction :D

                              • Nom on 07/06/2024 - 15:43

                                @Lit Homie: This is part the Lease companies should just leave out entirely !

                                nl (novated lease) - hi buy tesla :))) the 60k one but we charge u 20k pre tax for 5 years then another 20k :)))

                                jv - wth 120k for a 60k car??

                                nl - no i take pre tax

                                If they just started the conversation with

                                each fortnight i make 2700 :)

                                you now get 2300 a fortnight :)

                                jv - oh i see so i lose 400 from my pay every fortnight for the next 5 years?

                                nl - yep

                                Then I think there would be significantly less confusion 😁
