What do FBT and ECM mean?

Let’s break it down: Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) is the tax applied to benefits received from your employer that don’t come in the form of cold, hard cash salary or wages. A novated lease falls into this category as it’s a benefit separate from your cash salary or wages. As of April 1st, 2019, the FBT rate stands at 47%.

Now, here’s where ECM, or the ‘Employee-Contribution Method’, comes into play. ECM is a standard calculation method for novated leases designed to offset any potential FBT you might owe on your novated lease. How does it work? Well, by making both after-tax and pre-tax payments, you can effectively lower the taxable value of your car. This smart move minimises the risk of facing an FBT liability when the FBT year ends on March 31st. It’s all about keeping your financials in check and your novated lease journey smooth and stress-free with Clear Lease.

Your dedicated consultant can talk you through FBT and ECM as it’s often best to talk to an expert.
