Which car finance options can I choose from?
Chattel mortgage
A chattel mortgage is the only type of business car finance whereby you own the vehicle from the start. It’s structured in much the same way as a secured car loan, with repayment periods extending from one to seven years. However, it enables borrowers to claim GST on the purchase of the car, as well as interest on their repayments and the vehicle’s depreciation.
Finance lease
Under a finance lease, your financier buys a car and leases to your business, with monthly costs charged to hire the vehicle. Up to 100% of these payments are tax deductible, with terms ranging from one to five years. At the conclusion of your loan, you can choose whether to:
- Buy the car by paying the residual out of pocket
- Trading in or selling the car to cover the residual and lease another car
- Refinance the residual and extend the term of your lease.
Operating lease
Operating leases work in much the same way as finance leases, except they don’t come with a required residual payment and instead enable you to hand the car back at the conclusion of the lease. On-road costs are also typically sorted for you and incorporated into your loan, making it more expensive than a finance lease, under which this isn’t the case.
Novated lease
Novated leases are very different, as they’re designed for employee use. Under this agreement, your financier buys the car and leases it to your business, who pays for it by taking the required amount out of your pre-tax salary (known as salary packaging).
This reduces your taxable income and enables you to claim running costs such as maintenance and insurance premiums without having to use it for business purposes. You’ll receive the same options as you would at the end of a finance lease.
Hire purchase
A hire purchase is ostensibly another type of lease, except it’s specifically designed for businesses who complete their accounting on an accrual basis, rather than cash basis. This means that these businesses record expenses or earnings at the point of transaction, rather than the receipt or release of payment. This enables them to claim the GST on the car purchase on their next BAS.
