Novated Leasing

Novated Lease Variations & Exits

Catch-e handles every way a novated lease can end — end of term, resignation, early payout or vehicle return — calculating each one from the same contract record so the final figure is never a surprise.

  1. End of lease
  2. Employment ends
  3. Early payout
  4. Return condition

End of lease

End-of-lease options, managed in one place

When the term ends, Catch-e presents the options side by side, pay out the residual and keep the car, re-lease on the residual, return it, or upgrade to a new vehicle, each with its figures so the employee can decide with clarity.

  • Payout and keep at the ATO residual
  • Re-lease on the residual value
  • Return the vehicle to the lessor
  • Upgrade into a new vehicle and lease

Employment ends

Handling a lease when an employee leaves

The novation exists only while the person is employed. When employment ends, Catch-e stops the deductions, closes the novation and reverts the lease liability to the employee automatically, so nothing is missed at handover.

  • Novation ends when employment ends
  • Lease liability reverts to the employee
  • Pre-tax deductions stopped on the final pay
  • Triggered automatically from the termination date

Early payout

Early termination payout

If a lease ends before term, Catch-e calculates the payout figure from remaining rentals, the residual, unearned charges and any break fee, producing a single quoted amount that is valid to a stated date.

  • Remaining rentals plus residual value
  • Unearned finance charges deducted
  • Break and administration fees included
  • A single dated payout quote

Return condition

Return condition & excess charges

On return, the vehicle is assessed against the agreement: fair wear and tear passes at no charge, while excess kilometres or damage beyond it are itemised and charged, so the final settlement is fair and defensible.

  • Condition assessed against the lease standard
  • Fair wear and tear accepted at no charge
  • Excess kilometre charges calculated
  • Damage beyond fair wear itemised and charged
