Looking for a novated option?

Why get a novated subscription

Enjoy the exact same financial perks as a traditional novated lease. A novated subscription also allows you to package your car and running costs into one payment made from your pre-tax salary. If you choose a suitable EV you can also maximise savings through the government’s EV Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemption.

Traditional novated leases usually trap you in strict 3-to-5-year contracts. A Karmo novated subscription gives you ultimate flexibility with much shorter terms. Whether you want to test out the EV lifestyle or need a vehicle that adapts to your changing circumstances, you are never weighed down by a long-term commitment.

This is the ultimate game-changer. Standard novated leases require a hefty residual (balloon) payment at the end of your term, leaving you exposed to depreciation and negative equity. With a novated subscription, there is absolutely no residual risk. When your term is up, you simply hand the keys back with nothing more to pay.

Car technology is advancing at lightning speed. Unlike a traditional lease where you are stuck with aging tech, a subscription ensures you never fall behind. At the end of your term, you can seamlessly hand back your car and swap into a brand-new vehicle with the latest features.

Karmo, in partnership with Smart, is redefining how Australians get behind the wheel with Novated Subscription; a first-of-its-kind product that blends the tax efficiency of novated leasing with the flexibility and convenience of car subscription.
