Salary packaging your car needn't be complicated
We get it: anything to do with tax and wages can be a worry, but we’ve got you covered.
One misconception of novated leasing is that the car has to be new. This simply isn’t true, and it’s why thousands of Maxxia customers take out novated leases on used vehicles every year.
We get that searching for a used car can seem a little daunting, so let us take on the heavy lifting for you by tapping into our nationwide network of dealer partners — including Just Honk, our sister company that specialises in delivering great deals on used cars.
If you know the car you want, we’ll take care of the rest. You could also save GST on the purchase price of dealership-bought cars, as well as some of your car’s regular running costs!
You also have the option of sourcing the car yourself — either through private sale or a dealer.
Generally, the car should be no older than 12 years at the end of the lease term. You should also enquire as to your employer’s novated leasing policy, as some vehicle restrictions may apply.
We can coordinate the paperwork, draw up a manageable annual budget that covers your car’s repayments and regular running costs, and arrange your fuel card — leaving you to bask in that unforgettable new-car feeling!
Part of your payments come from your pre-tax salary, so your taxable income could be reduced and you may end up paying less income tax throughout the year.
Say goodbye to bill-shock. We’ll work with you draw up a manageable budget covering all your lease repayments and running costs in one regular payment. No more bill-juggling!
The Maxxia App lets you check your balances, change your details and allows flexibility with claiming.
Maxxia does the heavy lifting for you. We can source your car and negotiate a great drive-away price (for new or used novated lease only), manage the paperwork and arrange the finance and insurance.
You could save GST on your car’s purchase price and some running costs.
You’ll have dedicated access to our MyCar Customer Service and Maintenance teams. We’ll take much of the hassle out of paying for, and servicing your car.
