Chattel mortgages are an appealing option for sole proprietors, partnerships and companies that use the 'cash' method of accounting for the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Under the cash method, the GST component of the financed price of the motor vehicle (or other asset) can be claimed back on the entity's next Business Activity Statement, rather than claiming the GST over the term of the finance contract.
Flexibility
Chattel mortgages have many flexible features. You can choose to finance the total purchase price, or use a deposit or trade-in to reduce the loan repayments. You can even use the GST refund to contribute towards paying off the loan, thereby reducing the amount financed and the interest paid over the term of the loan.
Tax Benefits
By choosing a chattel mortgage, you become owner of the motor vehicle while the financier secures a charge over the asset. As you are the owner of the motor vehicle you may claim a tax deduction for the depreciation on the motor vehicle as well as the interest component of the loan repayments.
GST is also not payable on the loan repayments.
Leases are usually utilized by Pty limited companies that require a straight line tax benefit.
It is primarily a rental agreement used for business purposes using the value of the equipment at the end of the contract as a residual
The goods as such are owned by the financier with repayments being tax deductible.
At the end of the contract you can either make an offer to purchase, trade or refinance the residual payment.
Novated leases maximise your salary package whilst paying for your car in pre-tax dollars.
For those with the option of leasing a car as part of a salary package this is a flexible solution with advantages for both the employee and employer.
A novated lease is ideal for employees who have the option of receiving a car as part of their salary package. The employer pays all rental payments to the financier and the employee enjoys full use of the motor vehicle.
The employee chooses a car and leases it from the financier
The employee then novates the lease to their employer, who assumes all the employee’s rights and obligations under the lease, including responsibility of meeting the lease rentals.
The contract is in the name of the employee who remains the registered owner throughout the lease and keeps effective control of the vehicle at all times.
If the employee leaves the company, the vehicle remains with the employee. In this situation, generally the employee takes over the payments or gets another employer to make the payments. This means, the original employer is not left with an unwanted car and the employee keeps the vehicle.
Employee Benefits
Use of a vehicle without having to budget for repayments.
Choice about what car you buy and where you buy it from.

If the employee leaves, the company is not left with an unwanted car.
Employer Benefits

The repayments are fixed throughout the life of the loan.
