As a member of the Western Australia Local Government Association (WALGA), you have access to unique opportunities that can help you get more out of your salary package. One of the most valuable benefits available is novated leasing, a smart and tax-efficient way to finance your next vehicle.
CarBon is a WALGA preferred supplier for novated leasing, meaning we can help all WA Shire and Council employees with their vehicle novated leasing needs.
And, as part of our exclusive offer just for WALGA members, you can enjoy additional perks and savings tailored to your needs.
At CarBon Novated Leasing, we specialise in novated leasing with a focus on electric and hybrid vehicles but no matter your car choice we can get you the best deal! Our leasing options allow you to drive the latest models while saving on taxes and simplifying your vehicle expenses.
What is Novated Leasing?
A novated lease is a three-way agreement between you, the WA local council you work for, and a leasing company like CarBon Novated Leasing. It allows you to lease a vehicle using pre-tax dollars, which can significantly reduce your taxable income. Your employer deducts the lease payments from your salary before tax is applied, resulting in considerable savings over the life of the lease.
For WALGA members, this means not only driving the latest electric or hybrid vehicles but also enjoying financial benefits that make car ownership more accessible and affordable. With our exclusive offer for WALGA members, you’ll have access to even greater savings and tailored support throughout the leasing process.
