With these financially stressful and uncertain times, associate leases are a great perk if you are an employee and have a car at home.

What is an associated lease?

Associate leases are an ATO approved incentive where employees can use their car at home to create a tax deduction for themselves and a cash injection for the associate (usually a spouse or family member over 18).

Who is able to get an associate lease?

Business owners can offer this to all their employees as a perk.
