The Problem

The EV Tax Benefit Is Real.
Accessing It Shouldn't Be This Hard.

The Australian Government's EV FBT exemption saves employees $15,000–$33,000+ over a 5-year lease. But two barriers stand in the way.

🏢

For Employers: Too Much Admin

HR departments refuse to administer novated leases because it means:

  • Manual FBT calculations every pay cycle
  • Tracking receipts from every employee
  • Managing trust accounts and disbursements
  • STP reporting headaches
💰

For Employees: Hidden Costs

Traditional novated lease companies hide massive markups inside the "tax savings":

  • 10%+ hidden interest rates on finance
  • Inflated mandatory in-house insurance
  • Percentage-based admin fees that grow with the car price
  • Up to $17,500+ in hidden markups over 5 years
How It Works

Three Steps. Zero Complexity.

Whether you bring your own finance or use a family associate lease, the process is the same for your employer.

1

Employee Gets Their EV

Finance through your own bank, credit union, or buy outright through a family associate. You choose the deal — no one forces you into overpriced in-house products.

2

Stratus Drive Handles Compliance

We verify ATO eligibility, generate lease documentation, manage the trust account, process all receipt verification, and calculate every deduction automatically.

3

Employer Downloads One CSV

Each pay cycle, your HR team downloads a single STP-ready CSV file. That's it. No manual FBT calculations. No receipt chasing. No admin burden.
