 | Almost every single fleet manager or salary packaging company has added their
novated leasing service as an add-on to their core business - your provider included no doubt.
So when you feel like they could be doing a better job, you're right.
Autopia, however, is completely different.
Our business has been built around novated leases.
That's why we're better at it than anyone else. We find tax savings where no
other fleet manager or salary packaging company can.
Once we’ve been introduced to your organisation you’ll experience:
 | |
Increased take-up-rates company wide
We’ll introduce novated leases to more employees than you thought were able to
benefit from salary packaging a car. Only Autopia, for example, can enable a
driver travelling less than 15,000 kilometres a year to consistently receive
significant tax savings. |
| |
Greater tax savings for employee and employer alike
When an employee enters into a novated lease agreement with Autopia, on average,
it’s the equivalent of receiving a pay rise of over $9,000.* And, one of the end
results of a greater number of novated leases, is lower worker’s compensation
and payroll tax for the business. |
| |
More time!
We’ll take the majority of the administration work off your hands, allowing you
to concentrate on other profitable areas of the business. |
| |
Higher levels of employee satisfaction
In addition to the unexpected pay rise, every one of your employees will have
their own Vehicle Benefits Specialist, who’ll stay with them throughout the
entire life-cycle of the vehicle. |
From helping with the correct choice of car, to managing the purchase and
negotiating on their behalf, all the way through to advice on the disposal of
the car at the end of the lease.
We’re with you, and your employees every step of the way.
Fleet managers are great if you need to run a fleet of 100 or so identical cars.
Salary packaging administrators are fine if you want to package laptops,
air-travel, mobile phones etc.
It's almost unfair to expect them to be good at managing novated leases too.
Figuring out the intricacies of the tax system and offering a one-to-one
consultative process goes against the grain of how these organisations became
successful in the first place.
If you ‘ve been burnt by terminations.
If you’ve been driven up the wall by inaccurate and untimely FBT reports.
If you’ve nearly lost your mind just trying to get someone to return your call.
And, if salary packaging has become more trouble than it’s worth, just give us a
call.
We’ll explain how much more money you can be saving, and how much easier the
process really is, when it’s done properly.

6 reasons to call Autopia for your vehicle salary packaging needs |
 | |
Your HR, finance and payroll departments can go on with REAL work, instead of
wasting valuable company time dealing with the ongoing questions and
administrative burden of vehicle salary packaging. Autopia handles the entire
process quickly and easily. Consider the time savings. Is it one hour per month... ten hours... or perhaps even ten days per month? |
 | | By taking advantage of
the Employee Contribution Method (ECM) which is supported by the ATO and vetted by our tax advisers Ernst & Young, we have been able to make vehicle salary packaging attractive for ALL employees, regardless of their income and the km they travel. So ALL your employees can now benefit. This method also has the benefit of removing the administrative burden from you, the employer... No FBT returns... no FBT instalments... and no reportable fringe benefits. |
 | | Employees of your company who have questions call US... and we give them the answers they need. Unlike other providers, we don't shy away from assisting with vehicle selection and structuring. You know all too well that becoming an expert on FBT guidelines takes an enormous amount of time and effort... and this is time and effort which YOU don't have. So when employees call YOU seeking answers to questions (which you don't have), you either have to think of the best answer off the cuff... or... go and find it. Well, with Autopia, you don't have to do that anymore! |
 | | You don't have to chase employees every month for odometer readings on their vehicles. Autopia tracks odometer readings, and with
the ECM, FBT returns can be eliminated all together. If there is anything more frustrating than performing tedious and mountainous paperwork, it's having to chase down employees for their paperwork. Missed calls... voicemail messages... telephone tag. This is all part and parcel with keeping your figures up to date. Well, it doesn't have to be that way any longer. |
 | | You (and your staff) will NEVER speak to a 'phone jockey' waiting for YOU to say what you want. You speak to experts who diagnose your situation and offer you a range of options. This means we listen first, gather all the requisite information about your situation... and then provide you with your best options. |
 | | Plus, we provide your employees with all the advice and information they need about vehicles! We help them choose the right car and (sometimes more importantly) the right structure that will maximise the benefits of salary packaging. At the touch of a button we can access any make or model (new or used), costs of registration, insurance, depreciation, petrol consumption... anything at all. This way they get the true total lifetime cost of owning and running a car (not just a monthly repayment, which is only part of the story). |
How much difference does the right advice make?
Consider the following example of an employee earning $80,000 who purchases a
Holden Commodore for $41,582 and travels 25,000km per annum.
Had they salary packaged the vehicle on a 3 year term with a 46.88% residual (a
common structure), it would have cost them $49,329 to run over the 3 years.
Now consider the same employee with one difference... some advice from Autopia.
Using our vehicle selection assistance, we might have suggested a Subaru Liberty
at roughly the same price - $40,078. This vehicle would have cost $41,373 over 3
years.
That's a difference of $7,956 over the period, thanks to Autopia.
Why the lower cost? Well amongst other things, it's because we're the only salary packaging company
that takes vehicle resale value and depreciation into consideration.
Where does this leave you? Well, if you want the best possible results and
options that fully maximise salary packaging, you need to speak to the experts.
That's us.

Warmly,
The Autopia Team
PS To ensure we really do have ALL the answers, we consulted (and have always been a client of) the leading accounting firm in the country, Ernst & Young. So when you receive advice from Autopia, just know all our methods have been screened and reviewed by Ernst & Young.
PPS LAST MINUTE BONUS: As an extra benefit, we'll be happy to speak to you on the phone and tailor make a solution specific to YOUR situation (so you can see the kind of service and expertise your employees will receive). We'll offer you options that you can put to use immediately, whether or not you decide to follow through with Autopia!
How much is this consultation valued at? If you were to ask your accountant to review the relevant laws (FBT, Income Tax, Luxury Car Tax, GST etc etc) ... purchase Redbook data... develop a streamlined database... program the complicated formulae and so forth, it would take him (or her) months (if not years) of work... you are talking about tens (and probably hundreds) of thousands of dollars in costs to give you the answers you need.
The reality is that accountants don't have the time to be so specialised in just one area. They won't have access to the information (or the specialised systems) required to
deliver the best result. Even to do some basic calculations would be a few hours work as they would have to start from scratch...if your accountant bills at a conservative $100 per hour, you could be out of pocket $300 (or more).
When you call Autopia, we give you the specialised advice on the spot. In fact we'll be able to take you through a live quote online!
And the best part, it's a free consultation.
