As the end of 2020 approaches, before you slip on the sunscreen and relax into festive mode, it could be worth checking out what deals are available on work vehicles to make that last minute business investment. The IAWO and temporary full expensing measures coupled with the November RBA rate cut, have presented businesses with very attractive circumstances to invest in new vehicles.
Despite issues around freight delays and impacts, many car manufacturers still release new vehicles into the Australian market and after all the lockdowns etc., dealers will no doubt be keen to move stock with their end of year clearances.
At Jade, we stay across the motor vehicle market and have done a quick check of deals and offers from some of the most popular manufacturers for you to use as a guide. (This information is correct at the time of preparing this article. Any prices quoted here will be subject to the usual dealer charges etc) To see how the general prices quoted may translate to repayments, just head to our business car loan calculator.
Ute Offer Roundup
- Mazda BT-50 launched to rave reviews in 2020 and with or without any special offers, is worth checking out. Available in cab chassis and pick-up models with several variants. Use our calculator to see how stepping up to the next level may impact your Jade car loan.
- Toyota HiLux continually places in the top selling utes year after year and Toyota is currently advertising an offer on the 4x2 WorkMate petrol, manual model. A driveaway price of under $28,000 is advertised.

Work Ute Finance Deals
The talk in business car loan-related opportunities since March 2020 has been Instant Asset Write-Off (IAWO). Introduced as a COVID-19 stimulus measure and extended and expanded since IAWO offers eligible business vehicle buyers an incentive to invest in new vehicles. For those not eligible for IAWO, temporary full expensing also offers benefits to some buyers.
The scenario was further enhanced with the RBA rate cut in November. Jade Car Loans continues to support businesses with cost-effective motor business car finance rates. Accredited with multiple lenders, we can source the best deals from a vast section of the motor car finance sector.
While we offer a complete portfolio of commercial finance facilities, the most suited for those looking to realise the tax benefits of IAWO is Chattel Mortgage.
Chattel Mortgage features include:-
- The Borrower takes ownership of the vehicle from the time of purchase and the lender has a mortgage over the vehicle.
- Borrower has full use of the vehicle and is responsible for all ongoing expenses.
- Jade sources finance at better interest rates which are fixed for the full loan term.
- Loan terms are negotiable for up to 5 years for most businesses and vehicles. Subject to lender guidelines.
- Fixed repayments
- GST on the vehicle purchase can be claimed on the next BAS statement.
- Tax benefit is realised with depreciation in line with ATO guidelines. If eligible for IAWO the full amount of eligible vehicles can be written off in the 2020/21 financial year. For full expensing, the deadline is out to June 2022.
- Interest on repayments is tax deductible.
