Question:

What happens if I go on unpaid leave (eg, maternity leave, extended leave)?

Answer:

If you take any period of extended leave or unpaid leave before the novated lease expires, you and your employer will need to decide what is to happen about the salary sacrifice that has been negotiated. If it is decided your employer will repudiate the novated lease, as provided for under the novation agreement, Rewards will send you a notice of termination and, thereupon, you will be personally responsible for all future lease rentals plus GST and duty. However, you may not be entitled to an Input Tax Credit for the GST.
