What Expenses can I claim with my Novated Lease?

A great part of novated leasing is the potential to take home more of what you earn. This is because part of your payments are made with pre-tax dollars. While fringe benefits tax might apply, salary packaging a car could lower your taxable income and reduce the cost of getting into and running your next car. You don't even have to be a big earner or drive lots of kilometres to benefit.

Novated leasing also allows you to bundle not only your lease payments, but your car’s running costs – including petrol, insurance, rego and servicing – into one convenient regular payment.

Each pay your budgeted contribution amount is added to your Maxxia novated lease account. Maxxia makes your regular lease payments from this account, reimbursing you from this account when you claim and paying those annual expenses — like registration — from here when needed.

What you can claim

You can use some of your pre-tax dollars to claim the following expenses:

Say goodbye to bill-shock

Putting your money aside each pay is not only about the potential tax benefits, it's also about having a healthy balance for when you need to pay for stuff, no more surprise bills. You can use your novated lease balance to pay for expenses in two ways,  reimbursement  or  direct  payments.

Reimbursement Payment

If you like, you can pay for your car expenses yourself first, and then claim the pre-tax amount from Maxxia, this is called a ‘reimbursement’ payment. As you’ve already paid for the item, the reimbursed funds you then receive from us are yours to use as normal.

Direct Payment

By far our most popular claiming option is ‘direct’ payments via the Maxxia app and Maxxia Online. This allows you to upload your unpaid invoices and bills, so we can pay these items on your behalf directly from your novated lease account, easy!
