Government CarPlan (GCP) Scheme

Vehicle Salary Packaging the Senior Management Group

Introduction

The Government CarPlan Scheme provides a restricted selection of vehicles for salary packaging. It is a requirement of the Government CarPlan Scheme that the salary packaged vehicle is used for University work purposes. Staff can only salary package one vehicle under the Government CarPlan Scheme but additional vehicles may be salary packaged under the Corporate CarPlan Scheme. If the Government CarPlan Scheme does not have the vehicle that you wish to salary package then you should investigate the Corporate CarPlan Scheme. A matrix comparing the Government carPlan and Corporate CarPlan schemes is inlcuded in the Lease Information Kit (GCP).

As with all salary packaging/sacrifice arrangements, staff are strongly encouraged to seek independent financial and taxation advice before entering into any salary package arrangement such as a novated vehicle lease, to ensure it suits an individual's personal and financial circumstances. UTAS will not offer any financial or taxation advice about the suitability, benefits or risks of salary packaging.
